The Lufkin Police Department is seeking the public's help in finding a man who allegedly walked out Wal-Mart's front door with a 46-inch HD television without paying for it on Dec. 17, 2012.
According to the store's loss prevention employee, the suspect pushed a cart back to Wal-Mart's electronics department shortly after he entered the store a little before noon. A press release from Lufkin Crime Stoppers stated that the store's surveillance video shows the man browsing for a bit before he picks a 46-inch Sanyo HD TV, loads it into his shopping cart, and heads to front of the store.
Before store employees could react to the theft, the suspect loaded the television into a vehicle and fled the area. A witness described the vehicle as "a silver sports utility vehicle, possibly a Toyota 4Runner."
As the security video shows, the suspect is a white male who had dark, short-cut hair and thin facial hair at the time of the alleged theft. In the video, the man is wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, a blue T-shirt, black pants, and black shoes.
