Warminster Township police are investigating a retail theft attempt involving more than $1,000 in merchandise at a business along East Street Road earlier this month.
Officers responded Feb. 9 to 100 E. Street Road for a report of a theft in progress. Prior to police arrival, Bucks County Radio Room advised that the suspect had left on foot toward a nearby bus stop, according to police.
Store employees told officers an unidentified male selected multiple clothing items, meat products and a television, allegedly placing the merchandise inside black trash bags.
The total value of the items was $1,024.54, police said.
When approached after passing all points of sale without paying, the man reportedly stated, “I didn’t steal anything,” before leaving the store on foot without the merchandise.
