It turns out that video footage of a man entering a Los Altos backyard last week was a painter looking for his job site – not a prowler.
The Los Altos Police Department Monday (June 2) issued an alert to the media that included a screen capture of the man wearing a Golden State Warriors playoffs T-shirt. He entered a backyard on Delphi Circle, looked around and into a window, then left.
After police began circulating his description, the man contacted the department with details about his work. Tuesday, the police updated their alert as resolved.
