The San Francisco Chronicle reported that police arrested 42-year-old Paul Peterson in San Jose, Calif., for his connection with the theft of numerous CCTV surveillance cameras.

Peterson, who has not been charged yet, looks similar to the man in the photo that one camera took when the man was attempting to steal the camera. Officers arresting Peterson are said to have found stolen security cameras in his possession and a blue pickup truck like the one also photographed by the camera.

Peterson has not been charged because a second man was involved in the theft, and police are attempting to establish additional evidence.
