Local police are looking for a man who allegedly used sleight of hand to steal hundreds of dollars’ worth of clothing from a store in Central Florida.
According to the Sanford Police Department, the male suspect entered the JD Sports located at 1951 WP Ball Boulevard in Sanford on September 4, 2024. While inside the store, he allegedly stole approximately $800 worth of clothing items.
The police department stated that the suspect brought the clothes to a cash register and gave an employee around $1,000 in cash to pay for the items. While the cashier was busy bagging the items, the suspect “quickly took back $800.00 from the $1,000.00 (he) initially gave the employee.”
The suspect then proceeded to walk out of the store with $800 in unpaid clothing items, according to SPD.
In a social media post on Monday, October 14, Sanford police shared photos of the male suspect in this case.
