Police are asking for the public's help in identifying a thief caught on camera while burglarizing a store at the International Mall.
The owner of Color Me Mine believes the thief and his female accomplice were shopping earlier in the day Thursday and then stayed behind after the mall closed.
Surveillance cameras inside the store caught someone attempting to lift the security gate after the store closed.
A woman stayed outside pacing back and forth. Minutes later, a different camera angle showed a man entering the pottery painting studio from a back door.
The thief got away with the register -- stocked with $200.
According to the store owner, the shop across from her was also burglarized that same night. She says she’s not concerned about recuperating the money; she’s more worried about security at International Mall.
Anyone with information on this crime is urged to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
