The man walked around the apartment briefly before stealing a security camera and fleeing the apartment through the open window. Two residents were inside the apartment and asleep while this break and enter occurred.

At approximately 5 a.m., when one of the residents woke up, he had a notification on his phone from his security camera indicating there had been activity in the kitchen overnight and notified police.
