Montgomery County Police announced they have arrested and charged a Washington, D.C. man in connection with a September 10 burglary at Dumpling Dojo, in Westfield Montgomery Mall.

Police say the suspect, 23-year-old Delonte Ernesto Smith, was videotaped by the food court restaurant's camera as he stage-dived over the front counter.  Making his way back to the restaurant's office area, police allege, Smith stole cash and fled.  He also cut an opening in the "garage door" security gate at Brow Art, and stole additional cash from their register, police say.

Four days later, mall security identified Smith at the mall and called police.  Smith was arrested at a mall bus stop shortly afterward.
