OMAHA, Neb. —

The video shows a white Ford sedan, likely a Ford Fusion, with a covered license plate pulling up to the van. A man wearing shorts and a T-shirt that reads “a full turn in the right direction” is seen shattering the van’s window. He spent about three minutes inside, stealing thousands of dollars in tools.
A second person exited the vehicle to assist, using their T-shirt to cover their face. The suspects returned to the scene about six hours later, and one of them briefly pulled his mask down, revealing his face.
The company owner said he is now out about $10,000 in tools.
Authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspects.
