Well this is not a suprise that this happened. This occurs all the time and the fitness centers do not usually cooperate with police in releasing video. Camarillo's 24 hour fitness had this problem and did not want to help the police.
I am just happy they caught these guys but they will be back at it again, Just wait and see!
