01:09
Looks like this may have been some type of burglary out of that tent from a narcotics dealing tent.
01:18

01:20
The subject here said he got his backpacks stolen from there should be like in gray REI style backpack.
01:31
Gray REI style backpack was the one that was stolen.
01:36
We recovered a tan backpack and this tent has a big hole cutting the side of it.
01:41

02:12
If you have a victim,
02:14
not sure on the shore if you have one second.
02:17
Sorry, I'll call me in the area recap for this different,
02:20

02:24
Blackmail 20s, all-black clothing westbound towards Fairview from Pontius and Minor.
02:32
Okay.
02:36
Also,
02:37
someone reported wearing a surgical mask, possibly wearing a backpack.
02:45
Two of three.
02:46
Two of three.
02:50
Checking, do we...
02:52
Does your victim know how many of them were armed?
03:01
...seving the garden one, if you see my strobe, one block west of me in that alley, is where we last saw on.
03:09
So whoever, like, last actually had eyes up, can you go to that spot?
03:15
We'll start working out there.
03:17
That's what King 11 is doing.
03:18
King 11 last had eyes.
03:20
He's the one that just spoke.
03:22
Put a strove up in the air and laugh so you're here in just a second.
03:26
Okay.
03:31
The victim here won't be able to identify the suspect right now, right?
03:37
Um,
03:38
footage here, they're trying to release footage so I can watch it.
03:41
I'm just waiting on approval from Amazon Security.
03:46

03:50

03:52

03:54
One block west, but not all the way to fear of you.
03:57
The alley south, west of me is where we lost eyes.
04:02
They're covering the alley between minor and fairview that looks like.
04:07
That sounds right.
04:09
Were they running westbound from there, or do they make sense of the alley?
04:14
I was breaking this corner as he turned westbound.
04:17
By the time I got to facing east-west, she disappeared from view.
04:22
So my hypothesis is he went into that alley,
04:25
because I still would have had eyes on him by the time he made it to Fairview.
04:29
Go ahead.
04:35
There's a possible over here at 232.
04:39

06:27
Did anyone copy, and according to that photo, we have the suspect with the brown shoes from that photo, positively identified from the photo.

08:47
We have brown shoes in custody.
