Charlotte, NC, August 5, 2026 —
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) is asking for the public’s help to identify an individual suspected of stealing a valuable piece of equipment from a medical building. The incident occurred on the morning of Wednesday, July 22, at a Presbyterian Medical Tower located on East 4th Street.
The stolen item is reported to be a low voltage tester with an estimated value of $20,000. Authorities have released surveillance footage that captures the suspect moving through the building’s corridors. The footage shows the individual, who was not wearing a mask, appearing to be conscious of the presence of surveillance cameras as they navigated the premises.
Investigators noted that the suspect’s apparent awareness of the security cameras could suggest a degree of familiarity with the building’s layout or security systems. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is urging anyone with information regarding the suspect’s identity or whereabouts to come forward.
Details regarding the specific time of the theft on July 22, or the exact location within the Presbyterian Medical Tower where the tester was taken, were not immediately available. The contractor or specific entity from whom the tester was stolen was also not provided.
CMPD is continuing its investigation and requests that any individuals who recognize the suspect from the surveillance footage or have any relevant information contact the department. Further details will be released as they become available.
