He returned the next day around 2:15 p.m., allegedly disabling the building's surveillance system and taking two more microwaves and a power generator. The day after that, he came back around noon to snag a hand cart from the back alley and a bag from inside, police say.

On Nov. 30, the suspect struck once again, this time by entering the back yard of a residence on the 700 block of South 15th Street through a back alley, taking two bikes, police say.
