Naked Preschool Burglar Captured on Surveillance Video Suspect Walks Around and Displays Sexual Behavior

Los Angeles Police Department detectives are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect who has twice broken into a preschool in the 400 block of North Soto Street and whose image was caught on surveillance video.

On November 14, 2010, at about 8 p.m., and again on March 6, 2011, at about 3 p.m., the suspect forced his way into the "Centro De Alegria" Pre-School in the Boyle Heights Area of the City. Once inside the suspect ransacked the school, looking for items of value and leaving with various items of property including money and keys.

After committing the burglary, but before leaving the school, the suspect can be seen taking off his clothing, masturbating and engaging in strange sexual behavior while parading around the lobby.

The suspect’s behavior is cause for concern and there is a sense of urgency to get him positively identified and taken into custody.
