We had someone stealing packages in Mission Hills yesterday. We have two very clear pictures of him-he was chased by a concrete worker after stealing a neighbor's packages and the person chasing him got close ups. He rides his bike and had a backpack that he ditched with a package in it and he also threw down another package that he stole. He is maybe an older teen or very young 20's. Hard to say but the picture going around is very distinctive. He rides a Mongoose bike with a lot of chrome color on it, "Sumano" and "element" written on the back and front near the wheels, with a water bottle attached. He was wearing dark clothes and held a plaid shirt and wore heavier looking black boots. I am asking you to be on the look out for your own neighborhood as I doubt he will come back here as he has been identified, at least to his behavior. And yes the sheriff is involved but came too late to catch him. And it is not the first time he has been seen in the neighborhood, I saw him riding through a week or two ago. Keep your eyes open for someone of this description and if you see him, just call 911.
