Mountain View Police Department detectives are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a man who smashed the window of a parked vehicle with his hand and stole a laptop inside.
Video surveillance of the Starbucks parking lot on Pear Avenue Sept. 21 shows a tall man in his early 20s approach a red Nissan Leaf, cover his hand with the sleeve of his gray sweatshirt and shatter the back hatchback window, according to a police press release. The suspect then reaches in and grabs a backpack containing the computer.
The video shows the suspect leaving the parking lot by climbing into the passenger seat of a newer model, gray Hyundai Sonata four-door sedan, which was idling as the crime occurred.
