PORTSMOUTH — Police have charged a Dover man in connection with the tip jar theft from Gilley's PM Lunch late last month.

Christopher McPhee, 21, of Oak Street, turned himself in to Portsmouth police Monday evening at 6 p.m. He is charged with one count of misdemeanor class B theft in the incident that occurred at about 10:15 p.m. on Aug. 28.

Surveillance images appear to show a man taking money from the restaurant's tip jar after speaking with the woman working behind the counter. Police said about $60 in tip money was taken.

Portsmouth police posted an image of the suspect on its Facebook page Sept. 3. The post generated numerous tips by phone, email and Seacoast Crime Stoppers. These tips allowed the department to zero-in on a person of interest and later identify the man.

"The Portsmouth Police Department would like to express its gratitude to those community members, businesses and civic organizations who assisted in this matter," Sgt. Kuffer R. Kaltenborn said in a news release. "Your contributions brought this investigation to a quick and successful resolution."

McPhee is free on $500 personal recognizance bail. He is due in Portsmouth District Court for arraignment on Sept. 24 at 8 a.m.
