KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Lenexa Police Department has asked for the public's help identifying a suspect in a burglary that occurred Monday afternoon.

The suspect then went to the victim's house. He was captured on security camera footage breaking into the house, holding a can of spary paint, which he used to cover the security cameras.

The camera also caught an image of the white Kia Soul the suspect was driving. The Kia's license plate is stolen and belongs to a different car.
