Security Camera Captures Image Of Man Kicking In Car Window In Chinatown

CHINATOWN (CBSLA) - Residents in the Chinatown neighborhood of Los Angeles say there has been an unidentified man going around the area kicking in car windows.

A screenshot of security camera footage showing the suspect was first posted Tuesday on a Reddit thread, which indicated at least one of the incidents occurred near Yale and College streets.

The timestamp on the image appeared to indicate it was taken on May 25 around 5:30 a.m.

Someone identifying themselves as a friend of the person who posted the image told CBSLA it was taken by a security camera located at the First Chinese Baptist Church. The suspect is believed to have stolen a first aid kit backpack.

The owner of the car told CBSLA's Dave Lopez it's happened to her before about six months ago, but declined to be interviewed on camera.

CBSLA has reached out to the church for any additional details, but did not receive an immediate response.
