Police in Massachusetts say they have identified a man who was spotted stealing a 50-pound bag of potatoes from a Five Guys restaurant in Waltham.

The Waltham Police Department initially shared news of the theft on Tuesday afternoon via Facebook, asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect seen absconding with the potatoes.

“After eating at a local restaurant he decided to take a 50 lb bag of pre-cut french fried potatoes on his way out the door,” police said Tuesday. “We are hoping that we can ‘mash’ all of the evidence together and come up with a suspect.”
