In surveillance video released by police Sunday, the suspect can be seen entering the store at Castor Avenue and Orthodox Street and going into a storage area. Police said he then stole game systems, laptops and TVs before fleeing around 12:30 a.m.

Police described the suspect as a black man about 30 years old who is 5 feet 11 inches tall and has a goatee. He was wearing a dark shirt with white stripes and dark pants.
