Savannah Metro Seeks Suspect in Gas Station Theft

 
 
The Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department’s Southside Precinct is asking for the community’s help identifying a suspect in a theft at a Parker’s on Wednesday, Feb. 8
Metro officers responded to the 7200 block of Abercorn Street at about 12:30 a.m. Reportedly, a suspect entered the gas station, asking a store clerk for a carton of cigarettes. Once the clerk set the carton down, the suspect snatched the items and ran out of the store. The suspect possibly fled in a white Mitsubishi Eclipse. No injuries were reported.

The suspect is described as a white male in his mid-20s to early 30s. He stands 5-7 to 5-9 and weighs approximately 140 pounds. During the incident, he wore a blue baseball cap with red wording, glasses, a grey pullover sweater and a red shirt underneath.
