MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — Police in Murfreesboro need your help tracking down a man, who was caught on camera breaking into a local arcade.

It happened at the Lanes, Trains, and Automobiles on Butler Drive on Sunday. Police said the burglar cut a hole into the roof and rappelled down a rope to get inside. Video shows he stole about $1,500 from an ATM and a game card recharging machine.

The burglar was wearing a green camouflage balaclava to cover his head and face, a black jacket, blue jeans, brown square-toed leather boots, gloves and was carrying a black backpack.
