Officials on Wednesday asked the public for help in identifying a man wanted in connection with a burglary.

Two months ago, an Encinitas couple mailed their monthly rent check to their landlords. The next day, the bank contacted the couple to say an unknown man entered the bank to cash the check.

The check was made out to Jose Antonio Quintero, who is not the landlord, for a different amount. The signature line of the check also appeared to be forged.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, 5’10” and weighing approximately 215 pounds. He had a shaved head, mustache, and goatee. He was last seen wearing a white t‐shirt, and unknown color pants.

Anyone with information on this case should call the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station at (760) 966-3500 or San Diego Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at (888) 580‐8477.

Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest in this case.
