Officer Laura Meltzer said Tuesday that investigators hope someone will recognize the man seen on security video during the mid-day Thursday theft from a home in a northwest neighborhood.
Police released a photo from the video showing a man believed to be in his 20s wearing sunglasses and a red plaid shirt carrying an orange and a soda can that he left before taking two packages and walking away.
Stacey Shavinsky tells KLAS-TV she just wants the return of the box containing a chemotherapy drug that her son takes daily for a rare form of cancer.
