He's in profile but there is enough there for him to be indentified. Good luck with trying to explain why you were in a business at 4 am !

Doesn't say store was "in business" @ 4 AM. Article specifically states perp forced his way into the store. And what does the hour of business have to do with anything. A break in is a break in and a robbery is a robbery. Pure and simple a 'criminal act' any time, any place, Restricted Access. If Beer and Wine store WAS open at that hour, should we now say it is acceptable and 'free pickings'/ a RIGHT for thugs! Rhetorical!
