On March 4, 2026, law enforcement received a report of a theft that had just occurred at Best Buy located at [ADDRESS REDACTED], Minnetonka, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Video surveillance from March 4, 2026 depicts two black males in their late 20s to 30s, one wearing an all black sweatsuit, the other wearing a blue shiny leather jacket, grey cargo pants, and medium length dreaded hair. The male in the blue jacket went to the Apple display section, selected a MacBook valued at $1,599 and cut the security cable.

The suspect concealed the item in his coat. The suspect wearing all black selected Airpods Max valued at $549 and unplugged the security cable. The suspects exited the store past all points of purchase without attempting to pay. The suspects did not have permission to take the items. The items totaled $2,148.99. Law enforcement sent out a crime alert to other agencies in an attempt to identify the suspect. A crime analyst recognized the male wearing all black to match RICHMOND GIDA SEJU, DEFENDANT SEJU herein.
