Home burglar caught on tape - who is it?

Detectives are looking for help in identifying a man who burglarized a home in north Spokane County earlier this month. A photo released today from the homeowner's game camera shows a man wearing gloves leaving the backdoor of the home in the 3100 block of East Deer Park-Milan Road. The homeowners returned from an eight-day vacation June 8 and discovered the break-in. His accomplice, identified by police as Christopher John Steinbaugh, 32, was arrested last week on a residential burglary charge. Police are asking for anyone with information on the man's identify to call Crime Check at (509) 456-2233 and reference case #12-176653. Steinbaugh already is charged with property crimes for arrests in March and May, including one that occurred when a sheriff's detective recognized him at a pawn shop. (Crime Check)
