Cops seek man who stole twice from Westland K-Mart
Westland police are on the hunt for a man wanted in two thefts last month from the same K-Mart store.
The suspect made two trips Dec. 15 into the store at 165 S. Wayne to steal unspecified items, according to officials.
"In both instances the suspect exited the K-Mart through a back room with items that he did not purchase," police said. "He was seen leaving in a bronze or brown Chevrolet Impala or Caprice that was driven by another unknown suspect."
Police on Tuesday released grainy surveillance footage that appeared to show a man pushing an overflowing cart through a dark room. Officials also distributed a still photo of the suspect in the store before fleeing with stolen items.
The suspect is described by police as 25-30 years old. He had a beard and was wearing a dark-colored winter coat with a hood.
