Dollar Tree Robbery
October 21, 2009
Shoplifting sometimes gets out of control when the thief doesn`t go quietly. At Dollar Tree, at 1901 W. Expressway 83, such a case occurred on October 15. A man inside the store figured he did not have to pay for items that the rest of us pay for. He concealed 2 bottles of White Rain and slipped out the exit. When the employee stopped the man outside, he pushed him, dropped the merchandise, and took off. In the process, a misdemeanor, like a traffic ticket, just became a felony.
The culprit is described as a male in his 40`s, standing 5 feet, 6 inches, weighing about 200 pounds, wearing a blue shirt and blue shorts. He escaped in a blue and white pickup truck, with Minnesota plates, possibly KVE677.
If you know who this man is or where the vehicle can be found, call Weslaco Crime Stoppers at 956-968-8477. You may remain anonymous and could receive a cash reward.
