Investigators say that the total loss to Target exceeds $25k, after a string of more than two dozen burglaries dating back to April.
Police are searching for a serial burglar who has hit Southern California Target stores at least 25 times since April. He's often been caught on camera, taking advantage of unwary employees and running out of the store before he can get caught, as evidenced by surveillance footage from one store in Santa Ana, where he grabs an iPad, still in the box, from the cashier and sprinting out of the front door. 'He's definitely prolific,' said Irvine Police Department's Kyle Oldoerp.
Employees say that he claimed the items came from a gift registry, hence the lack of receipt and reason for his 'returns.''In one instance they asked him about the property and he said that the reason he has so many sheets is because he's running an Airbnb,' Oldoerp said. 'Definitely suspicious if a person is returning multiple items of the same thing.
