On 01/14/2013, at approximately 0059 hours, Frederick Police responded to a commercial burglary alarm at Rexel-Electric Supply located at 1569 Tilco Dr. in Frederick, MD. A male suspect (unknown race, 5’10”-6’00”) wearing all dark clothing and a hood covering his head, made entry into the business and attempted to steal a spool of Romex copper wiring. Surveillance footage revealed that the suspect parked a dark colored, older model sedan in the far corner of the parking lot and then entered the business. The suspect is later observed carrying what appears to be a cardboard box; however, he drops the item prior to exiting business. He then leaves the area in the same vehicle travelling in an unknown direction.
