Las Cruces Auto Burglary Suspect Sought

Las Cruces Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the man suspected of breaking into and burglarizing a vehicle early Wednesday morning.

Investigators learned that at about 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 5, a man drove to the 700 block of Scenic View, stopped his vehicle and proceeded to burglarize a pickup that was parked in a residential driveway.

Video surveillance from the home shows that the pickup was left unlocked. Stolen from the pickup were a cell phone and a backpack that contained books, a Surface tablet and other miscellaneous items.

Books from the backpack were discovered later that morning outside the IHOP restaurant at 2900 N. Telshor Blvd.

The suspect is seen in the surveillance video wearing a light-color shirt and cap.

Anyone with information that can help identify the suspect, or the vehicle he was driving, is asked to call Las Cruces Police at (575) 526-0795, or send a tip via email to lcpdtips@las-cruces.org.
