Upon arrival I met with the shift manager, Melissa Volpe. Volpe related that approximately 15 minutes ago a suspicious female customer entered the store requesting assistance with a product down an isle that drew the casher, Michelle Heimlich from the front counter. While the front counter was left vacant, a white male dressed in dark pants, a black hoodie and wearing light gray sneakers and carrying a black backpack entered the store. Once in the store, the male quickly made his way behind the counter to the cigarette display. The male then removed his hood and took 60 packs of Newport 100s
