Employees told police an Apple iPad, a Dell laptop computer and carrying bag and a Samsung cellphone were stolen. The cellphone had been locked in a file cabinet, and employees found the drawer pried open, police said.
The missing items were last seen when the business closed around 4 p.m. Friday, police said. Employees said the devices were missing when they returned to work Monday.
The suite can only be entered using an employee access badge or key, but there were tool markings on the entry door to the suite, police said.
Video shows the man leaving the ninth floor at 7:42 p.m. with the black bag and a bag matching the description of the laptop bag that was missing.
Security desk logs didn't have any information about an entry at that time, and the building manager didn't recognize the man, police said. There were no authorized contractors or vendors at the building after 5 p.m. Friday, the building manager said.
Police are trying to identify the man. Anyone with information is asked to call the Wayne County Sheriff's Office at 313-224-2236.
