Security Camera Footage of Alleged bike and package thief in Mount Pleasant

A reader reports:

“I live in the Argyle at Mt. Pleasant and Park Road and a few days ago (4/29) a dude stole some bikes and packages from our basement. He got in once by dialing up random numbers on the call box and the other time when he followed someone that was coming in. Apparently he’s on camera across the street at the Park Ridge recently stealing packages as well.

Someone in the building did see him after we circulated the photos, so he seems to be a local or at least spends significant time in the neighborhood.

Obviously I don’t expect any return on the stolen items but if people keep an eye out, maybe they can prevent their own stuff from being snatched by him, since he’s making a habit of it.”
