    Why only now does the police department release the video when this happened back in May…..even if they apprehend the suspect he had enough time to dispose of the stolen items and he may have committed more burglaries as well..the sooner they inform the public the chances are greater that they will catch this person sooner than later before he commits other crimes…..

      Probably the Police Dept. has exhausted all it’s resources trying to solve this crime from just a blurry picture and is now appealing to the public, hoping someone will recognize the Cretin in the picture.
