VIDEO: Thief uproots, steals plant from Eastvale yard

EASTVALE, Calif. (KABC) -- An investigation is underway after a thief was caught on surveillance video uprooting and stealing a plant from outside an Eastvale home.

In the video, the suspect is seen walking up to the front of the house, pulling a plant from the dirt and just casually walking off.

The owner said this has happened four times now and believes it has been the same culprit each time.

The homeowner added an extra camera after the second theft and guesses that people are after drought resistant plants to sell or keep for themselves.
