Assistance Sought In Identifying Suspect in Theft

The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office is asking the public for assistance in identifying a man wanted in connection with two instances of theft at an area Walmart.

Surveillance cameras captured images of the man entering the Walmart located at 4381 Cattlemen Road on October 17, 2012 and again on October 23, 2012. Each incident took place around 2:00 a.m. In both instances the suspect removed the security device from a laptop and concealed it in the front of his pants before exiting the store and immediately getting into his vehicle.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call Criminal Investigations at 941-861-4900 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers by calling 941-366-TIPS (8477), or online at www.sarasotacrimestoppers.com or via text message by texting TIP109 plus a message to CRIMES (274637).
