Suspect Politely Takes iPhones from Business
On Tuesday, March 25, 2014 at 7:50 p.m., the suspect entered the RADIO SHACK, at 1790 Carson and asked if they had T-MOBILE phones. When told they only carried BOOST MOBILE and SPRINT, the suspect asked the price difference between the iPhone 5S and 5C then requested to see a pink 5C and a blue 5C.
The employee brought both phones to the counter, leaving only one on the counter due to his suspicions of the suspect. While looking at the pink phone, the suspect asked to also see the blue phone, then grabbed both of them and ran toward the front door stating, "Thanks, bye”.
SUSPECT DESCRIPTION: Black male adult, 6’00” tall, 280 pounds, collar length corn rows, tan shirt with blue cuffs and yoke, dark shorts, white socks, black tennis shoes, “RIP” tattoo on Adam's apple, sideburn tattoo on right side of his head, several more tattoos on the rear of his neck.
SUSPECT VEHICLE: Suspect ran to the driver’s side door of a red mid-‘00s Nissan and drove eastbound Carson and out of sight – the suspect vehicle had been parked in front of the store with the engine running.
