Framingham auto shop break-in caught on camera, police searching for suspect

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — Police are searching for a suspect after a man was caught on camera breaking into an auto shop in Framingham.

The thief broke into the business, and then spent more than an hour inside as he filled up a pickup truck with items from the shop. The suspect got away with about $30,000 worth of goods.

Surveillance video shows the man entering CG Campos Auto Repair after removing an air conditioner from a window to crawl inside the store.

The suspect then grabbed the keys to a pickup truck, and loaded it up with multiple expensive items including rims, tools, two guitars and a motorcycle.

The shop's owner, Carlos Campos, said the thief took his time in the robbery.

"Come in, open my business, broke my windows," Campos said. "Saw the video, and he kept doing whatever he wanted. He stayed in my business for almost an hour and a half."

Campos said he was able to find the motorcycle in Worcester, but no other items have been recovered so far.
