An unidentified Hispanic man linked to hotel burglaries in both Orange County and Los Angeles County remains at large.
The man, whose image was captured on surveillance video from the Hotel Ménage in Anaheim, is suspected of stealing laptops, an iPhone, jewelry and over $45,000.00 in cash from hotel rooms and other venues.
According to reports, the man poses as a member of a large group staying at the hotel and convinces hotel employees to provide him room keys. His heists have involved posing as one of 30 salsa musicians staying at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles as well as a member of the Mexican soccer team staying at the Los Angeles Marriott.
The con man is also believed to have stolen items belonging to an Israeli basketball team from the locker room at the Staples Center and a Salvadorian soccer team staying at a hotel in Utah. |
