A Dallas man is on a mission to find the burglar who keeps targeting his home.

Frustrated by multiple break-ins, Marshall Hays set up a security system that he is able to control from the comfort of his work desk.

Hays said it took only hours to capture an alleged thief on a Web cam.

“I pulled up the Web cam and I have this guy right here going through my dresser drawers at the house,” he said.

Police are looking for the man in the video.
