Surveillance photo

A man who burglarized a Holmesburg vending company’s warehouse on May 1 may not have been ready for his close-up, but he got one anyway.

Night vision surveillance video of the early morning break-in captured a zoom shot of the hooded thief inside the darkened business. The crime occurred at about 4:42 a.m. on the 4800 block of Wingate St.

The crook took an undisclosed amount of cash, police said. He was described as white, 20 years old, with a scruffy beard, a Phillies cap, a hoodie and sweatpants.
