Despite a Home Depot loss prevention officer attempting to intervene, the suspect left in a vehicle with a Texas license plate before being apprehended. The suspect is described as Hispanic, wearing a light blue shirt, khaki pants, and white shoes, possibly white or multi-racial. Anyone with information is urged to contact detectives or Crime Stoppers for a potential cash reward.
