Footage of a Newhall lottery ticket thief was captured using a security camera Monday night, and detectives have released the video in hopes of identifying the man, officials said.

After investigating the scene, detectives received security footage from the night of the incident, and released it to the public on Tuesday night via the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station’s Facebook page.
