| SUBJECT: | Detectives Seeking Suspect Who Stole Donations for Sick Child | ||
| DATE: | December 30, 2014 | ||
| CASE #: | 14-023341 | ||
| GENERAL NARRATIVE |
| On December 6, 2014 at approximately 11:30 AM, a suspect entered Planet Vapor, located at 1001 East Stone Drive in Kingsport, and approached the check-out counter. A collection jar, requesting monetary donations to benefit a sick child, had been placed on the counter next to the cash register. The jar was believed to have contained an estimated $200 in donations.
The suspect waited for employees to temporarily leave the area and then took the jar from the counter, concealed it under his jacket, emptied the money into his jacket, and returned the empty jar to the counter. The incident was captured by store surveillance cameras, and photos taken from that footage have been included in this release. The suspect appears to be a tall white male with long hair. Anyone who recognizes him is asked to contact Kingsport Police Detectives in the Criminal Investigations Division at 423-229-9429 or via Kingsport Central Dispatch at 423-246-9111. Alternatively, if an individual who is able to supply information related to this or any other case wishes not to be identified, tips can be submitted anonymously via online “Citizen Feedback” forms available at the following link: |
