AUBURN, Wash. (WTHR) – Police near Seattle are trying to find a man who they say has been hiding out in a grocery store for weeks.

Surveillance video showed him stealing food and alcohol after the store was closed.

Police say the thief got access to the store through a vent in the roof.

"We spent probably about 4-and-a-half hours up in the rafters trying to hunt this guy down," Auburn Police Commander Mike Hirman said. "It's very difficult. There are many, many little hiding places where he could've been."

Police have been using infrared technology and K-9 units to try to find him but so far, no luck!
