In a wave of thefts, police are looking to identify the suspect

The man was caught on camera at The Fresh Monkee.

MANCHESTER, Conn. — He's been caught on camera, now police are looking to catch him in person.

In a recent rash of burglaries across several towns, the suspect has been caught on camera at The Fresh Monkee, a smoothie shop in Manchester, Tuesday morning. Now, police departments including Manchester and South Windsor, are teaming up to catch the crook.

The video of the theft was obtained exclusively by FOX61. It shows the suspect entering the store, getting into the cash register, and stealing all the money inside.

"It's been really hard because my staff there is wonderful and they depend on our business and our awesome customers who really care about us and make us part of their daily regimen," The Fresh Monkee owner Judy Flynn said. 

Police say this isn't the first time this suspect has been accused in connection with these kinds of burglaries. Multiple businesses have reported thefts, all allegedly by this same person.
