The Philadelphia Police are hoping the public can help identify a man who was captured on surveillance video, on Christmas Eve, using some sort of electronic device to unlock a car in Fishtown, before stealing from the vehicle.
According to police, the incident happened on Dec. 24 at about 10:39 p.m., when a man, described as white or Hispanic with a mustache, was captured on surveillance video while he was using an unknown electronic device to gain entry into a vehicle on the 1200 block of East Oxford Avenue.
As seen in the video, he walks up and down the block, while tapping a small device that he holds aloft in his left hand, until a car unlocks.
