Syracuse, NY -- A man who stole clothing from a Destiny USA store, walked back into the store 45 minutes later and asked for a job application before fleeing, police records state.

Around 5 p.m. Sunday, a manager of True Religion Jeans contacted police after suspecting that someone stole more than $500 worth of clothing, police records state.

Employees did not see the incident but noticed a rack of merchandise was missing, the manager said. They checked surveillance from the store and saw a man walk in and take the items, he said.

The following account was obtained from the police report:

Around 2 p.m., a man talking on his cell phone, walked in and went straight to the back of the store. He then sat down on a bench in front of a clothing rack, looked to the front of the store multiple times and checked the dressing rooms.

The suspect then took the items off the rack and put them on his lap before putting them in shopping bags he was carrying.

He then stood up, opened his phone and started a conversation before walking out of the store with the stolen items.

Around 2:45 p.m., the suspect walked back into the store and asked for a job application. He left before staff could get any information from him. Employees did not see which way he fled.

The suspect is described as a black man in his early 20s who is 5-feet-10 inches tall and has a thin build. He was wearing a white, black and brown striped T-shirt, brown pants and brown boots. He was also wearing sunglasses.

The suspect's posture and sunglasses made it difficult to see facial features, the manager said.

No further information was provided and no arrests have been made.
