Target robbery suspect
By Sabina Mollot
Police are looking for a man who threatened a Target employee with a box cutter when he was caught shoplifting at the store at 500 East 14th Street.
On Friday, November 23 at about 2:45 p.m. the man strolled into the store and proceeded to take diapers, body wash, lotion and deodorant without paying, police said. When he was confronted by a store security worker, the man pulled out the box cutter, while warning the victim, “I will cut you.”
He then fled with the merchandise.
The suspect, who was seen on fuzzy surveillance video, is described as being about 5 ft 6 ins. tall. He is being sought for robbery.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782) or visit nypdcrimestoppers.com. All calls are strictly confidential.
ANother instance of DeBlasio’s reduced crime stats. This guy will never be charged, even if they find him, therefore this is yet another crime that will never make it into the stats. What a crock.
Easy to find him. Probably shooting hoops now over in Playground 11!
They’ll get this guy. It’s only pervs and pedophiles who are allowed to commit crimes at Target. Otherwise the NYPD takes it seriously.
How could this happen at the East Village’s Greatest Building?
