Details

Madison police are looking to identify the person who "fished" out rent checks from a dropbox last month.

The apartment complex is located on Moorland Rd. Several tenants alerted the property management office of an issue after they received late rent notices.

Surveillance video shows a man entering the main office around 4 a.m. on Nov. 2. The video shows him using a long string to fish out the checks.

The property manager said the stolen check amount totaled $2,124. 

Other apartment complexes in the area have had similar check thefts.

The Madison Police Department pulled a still image of the suspect from the surveillance video.

Anyone with information on this person's identity is asked to email MPD Officer Ruben Gonzalez at ROGonzalez@cityofmadison.com.
