Deputies are asking for the public's help to identify a man suspected of a robbery in Encinitas earlier this week.
The San Diego County Sheriff's Department (SDSO) released two pictures of the man taken from surveillance video.
The robbery happened just before midnight on Monday, Aug. 15 on Edgefield Lane near Mountain Vista Drive.
SDSO says the victim accidently left her garage door open and received an alert on her phone from her motion sensor alarm. She then confronted the suspect and began yelling for help, causing him to run away.
Surveillance video showed the suspect opening the car and taking a wallet. He dropped the wallet as he was running away.
He is described to be approximately 30-45 years old, 5-feet 7-inches and weighs around 150 pounds, with a goatee. SDSO says he was last seen wearing a green sweatshirt and jeans.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Jason Worthington at (760)966-3500.
