What Was On Tape?

The footage reveals him breaking the glass displays and snatching the phones. Jeremias Berganza, the owner of the store, observed the incident around 4 a.m. on Saturday and scrutinized the surroundings of the shopping plaza where his business is located, after recognizing the perpetrator's face on the surveillance video.

Looking For The Suspect
