CCTV surveillance tape revealed that the man who wore a blue Walmart vest stuffed the HDTVs in a shopping cart and simply walked out of the store via the emergency exit where a full-sized SUV was waiting. Local authorities have described the suspect as an African-American in his early 20s.
“Unfortunately, the man was not an employee of that Walmart or of any of the neighboring Walmart stores,” said a spokesperson of Chesterfield County/Colonial Heights Crime Solvers. “He was approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and had a thin build. He wore tan cargo pants and a light gray, hooded sweatshirt under the blue Walmart vest.”
