A commercial burglary occurred in the 800 block of Foothill Boulevard on July 28, but no items were taken.
The owner of the business told deputies that he arrived at work at approximately 8:05 a.m. on July 28 and saw the attic drywall was damaged and that the security alarm panel was tampered with.
The victim added that he had received a call from the alarm company notifying him that the alarm had been activated. He looked at a live feed of the surveillance cameras and didn’t see anyone and requested that the alarm company not call law enforcement.
Sheriff’s deputies reviewed the footage and saw that pieces of drywall began to fall at 1:15 a.m. and a hand wearing a glove was seen reaching through the attic to open the panel door of the security alarm.
The suspect was not visible but deputies contacted another officer to take fingerprints.
