Los Angeles: Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Wilshire Burglary detectives seek the public’s help in identifying a grand theft suspect.

On Tuesday, June 29, 2010 during the day time, an “Office Creeper” struck in the busy Miracle Mile District.  A male suspect was able to walk freely through a busy office building located in the 5700 block of Wilshire Boulevard, drawing no suspicion from working employees.  The suspect discretely entered the building, where he gained access to a large amount of U.S. and Euro currency.  He then casually walked out of the building undetected.
