Security footage captured thieves brazenly stealing approximately $30,000 worth of roofing material and equipment from a jobsite in Orlando, Fla., in the middle of the night.

The theft, which took place at the Econ River Animal Hospital and first reported by local ABC affiliate WFTV, shows a man looking up at the business's roof on East Colonial Drive late Monday night. The suspect can be heard talking, likely to a second suspect already on the roof.

The equipment belongs to Harold Cooke, owner of D&H Construction Services of Central Florida. Cook's company was hired to work on the animal hospital’s roof, and he said that the only good thing about the crime was his fortune in that the animal hospital had cameras.

“They stole a rhino bond machine, a Leister robot for the TPO, all our hand welders, pouches, blowers, saws, drills,” Cooke said; the list was extensive.

Additional video shows the second person at the crime scene; at one point, it shows him opening up a cooler left by the workers at the site, grabbing a bottle of water, and walking away. 

Cooke says he’s been in the business for more than 30 years, but this was the first time he’d seen something like what happened Monday night.

 “We’re out here trying to make an honest living, doing the right thing,” Cooke said. “And you have people that, unfortunately, want to take advantage of other people.”

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office was called and is now trying to recover the stolen loot.
