Crime Stoppers Crime of the Week - March 26th, 2009

Hi, I'm Officer Butch Slater, Crime Stoppers' Coordinator for Sangamon and Menard Counties.

This week Crime Stoppers is seeking information about a Retail Theft Over that occurred on Thursday, January 29th, 2009 at Patricia's, 805 S. Dirksen. A store employee reports that while reviewing video from their security cameras he noticed a white male wearing a tan and cream colored Illinois hat with an orange "I" a green Carhartt coat and his left thumb was heavily bandaged 5' 8" to 5' 10" 190 to 200 pounds. The suspect then went to several areas of the store concealing numerous items in his coat that was offered for sale by Patricia's. It is believed that the coat the suspect was wearing was altered to accommodate the items that he had concealed in the front and back of his coat and also the sleeves. The unknown suspect then left the store in an unknown direction. The store employee stated the total loss was $438.00.

If you have information about this incident or other suspicious activity, you can remain completely anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers at 217-788-8427 [1-800-397-2288], submitting a tip via the internet or using a cell phone to send a tip [type TIP672 plus your message and send it CRIMES(274637)]. You could get a cash reward of up to $1000.

Remember Crime Stoppers wants your information, not your name.
