Police learned that an adult male suspect had entered an employee-only section of the store and begun selecting personal items.

One of the store’s employees discovered the man and confronted him. The suspect fled and headed for an exit.

Police said that as the suspect moved to leave, he asked a customer for change — then tried to take the customer’s phone.

Other customers reported similar altercations in the store’s parking lot, with the suspect acting in a violent and threatening manner.

The lone suspect left the area in a vehicle that had been reported stolen.

Investigators were able to identify the suspect, and connect him with other incidents at stores throughout Monday night and into Tuesday morning.
