Trackdown: Help find man who stole video games from a Fort Worth Target
FORT WORTH, Texas - In this week’s Trackdown, Fort Worth police are searching for a thief who has hit multiple times, including the same Target store, where he stole video game products.
The suspect was caught on surveillance video at the Super Target on Overton Ridge Boulevard.
"What we've got here is a repeat offender. This gentleman is trying to stay in the game and keep stealing from retail stores," Fort Worth Police Officer Buddy Calzada said. "He's taking like Nintendo items, console items. Anything that has to do with video games. He's stealing them, taking them into his possession, and possibly selling them online. We don't know at this point."
Investigators are hoping the video will help someone recognize him.
"You can look at this video right here, it's a crystal clear picture of him actually putting them away in his jacket. You can see him right now putting them inside his jacket, and along with seeing that, you also get to see a clear picture of his face," Calzada said. "He's very comfortable with stealing, and we need to be very comfortable about taking this suspect into custody."
