Vermont State Police are asking for the public’s help for clues to a theft that happened in the early morning hours on Monday, July 4, at SunCommon on Vermont Route 2 in Waterbury. 

Trooper Ryan Riegler in a news release on Tuesday said police are searching for a suspect in a grand larceny case at the solar installation company that is estimated to have happened at 3:30 a.m. on July 4. 

An individual was seen on security camera footage stealing tools valued at approximately $1,600, police said. Items taken include drills, impact drivers and cutting implements. It was not clear where the tools were at the time of the theft. 

Police released a grainy photo image of the individual. Troopers ask that anyone with any information that might assist with the investigation contact the state police Berlin barracks at 802-229-9191.

This is the second incident of criminal activity at the SunCommon Rt. 2 headquarters in recent weeks. On May 20, an employee's vehicle was damaged when an unknown individual cut a hole in the gas tank and drained the tank of gas. No arrests have been made in that case, according to police.
