Los Angeles police are looking for a suspect in a home burglary who took a selfie with the victim’s phone.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department the suspect entered the home around 7 a.m. on July 11 and dug through the home while two 15-year-old girls and a woman were sleeping in a bedroom.
KTLA, a local LA news station, reported that while rummaging, the burglar picked up an iPhone and “accidentally activated a video application, which recorded him standing in the victims’ living room.”
The thief took the phone and left through the same side door.
Police released the video to the public Thursday in hopes of tracking the suspect, whom they identified as a black man, wearing a dark hat, down.
KTLA posted the video on Facebook asking anyone who recognizes the suspect to contact the police.
