Officers found a man fleeing the building on foot and he was arrested a short distance away, police say.

Investigators say entry into the building was gained through the elevator from the underground parking garage.

They say a search of the individual turned up some break-in tools, including a lock-picking set and wire cutters. They also recovered mail that did not belong to the suspect.

A 29-year-old man faces charges including breach of probation and possession of stolen property. He was held for a bail hearing.
