The footage shows the unidentified man lifting the selfie stick – with a phone attached – above the ceiling line, pulling it down, glancing at the footage, and repeating this at least one more time before he seemingly walks away.
Details are limited, but in the comments of the #WantedWednesday Facebook post, Irvine Police said it was the resident’s camera that captured the man.
“They do not know him, which is why we want to talk to him,” the department said in a reply to a comment by someone who was wondering if he had just been taking pictures of the rain gutters.
Irvine Police asks if anyone believes they can be of assistance in this case, to please get in touch with cvoors@cityofirvine.org.
