DENVER (KDVR) — Police said a suspect is still on the loose after being caught on video breaking into a garage and stealing a bike in Denver.

Garrett Taylor said it happened on the afternoon of Sept. 8. He was out most of the day and returned home to find his gate open. He said he didn’t think much of it at first. The next morning, he saw the window to his garage was broken and he immediately called the police.

Then, he checked the cameras around his home and was surprised to see it happened in broad daylight.

“It was shocking because of the brazenness of the person just walking up, ripping the gate open, and then like confidently like walking around my backyard,” Taylor said.

He had another camera in the garage that wasn’t set up, and he even thought the battery was dead. However, it was able to capture the person walking through the garage.

It included a clear picture of the suspect’s face, but it also had a clear picture of something else.

“The video from inside the garage shows them appearing to be, like, very angry and determined. Which was another, you know, just unsettling part of it,” Taylor said.

He said the whole scenario did not sit right with him, from the moment they broke in knowing he wasn’t home, to heading right to the garage knowing almost exactly what they wanted to take.

“They had to go through a locked gate and a, you know, a window to get to my bicycle and it’s a little odd that that’s all they took, so I’m a little nervous they might come back,” Taylor said. “So, I’ve kind of upped the security a little bit.”

FOX31 has reached out to the Denver Police Department who wrote in an email to FOX31 that the investigation into this is ongoing and no arrests have been made.

For now, Taylor said he is warning others in the area to be careful.

“Keep your doors locked. Cameras are helpful – I think they must have known that I was gone,” he said. “So, I don’t know, trying to maintain some sort of, like, presence or appearance of presence that you’re home.”
