SOUTHWICK – The Southwick Police Department is looking for the public’s help in identifying a person for a suspected larceny. Early Monday morning at around 12:05 a.m., a male suspect walked into the Mobile Station on College Highway and walked out of the store with a 30 pack of beer.
According to Sgt. Det. Robert Landis, the individual then fled to a vehicle where the operator of the car was waiting and then proceeded to take off. The cameras inside the Mobile Station did happen to catch a glimpse of the suspect.
“We’re just hoping to identify the guy,” said Landis.
This isn’t the first recent shoplifting incident in Southwick, as two individuals walked into the CVS on College Highway on April 7 and walked out with several packages of Rogaine. After the incident occurred, Landis indicated that stealing Rogaine is common because they’re of high value at pawn shops, with the retail value around $55 a box.
Landis also added that he believes the police department is close to at least identifying one of the suspects in the CVS incident. But, for the most recent incident at the Mobile gas station, the department is asking for the community to come forward with any tips or information that they may have on that larceny. The Southwick Police Department can be contacted at 413-569-5348.
