ALBUQUERQUE, NM (KRQE) – A thief tries to break into a business Mission: Impossible style on Super Bowl Sunday. The owner of Cards2Cash in Menaul near Pennsylvania caught the entire escape on his security cameras. A rope dropped from the ceiling on Sunday and activated a surveillance camera.
The suspect tries to crawl down the rope but is left hanging after his shirt gets caught. After the man falls to the floor, he looks around the office and tries to cover his face with his shirt. He then finds a key to a safe and opens it.
The owner of Cards2Cash says he was out of town when it all happened on Sunday. He says they just closed the business a few weeks ago to become an online store.
He says it makes him want to speed up the process. “The frustration obviously, it’s hard enough to operate and run a business today and let alone be constantly on the lookout for theft and so on,” says owner Tim Anderson.
Anderson says the unknown man set off multiple alarms that caused him to speed away. Anderson says the thief made off with some personal items and is glad to have the intruder on video.
“Now, it’s a little more comical to watch the video, but it’s a serious thing. I mean, we’d like to stop this person before they can hurt someone or damage other property,” says Anderson.
The business has filed a police report. The owner says that if anyone recognizes the thief, they should call the police.
