Anchorage police are asking for help to find a man suspected of stealing a 43-inch TV from Wal-Mart on Monday.
Officers responded to a report of a robbery just before 7 a.m. at the Wal-Mart on Debarr Road, according to a release from Anchorage Police Department spokeswoman Jennifer Castro.
Police were told a man carried a 43-inch LED TV out of the store with the alarm still attached. The store manager confronted the man, asking to see his receipt. The man then pulled out a large pair of scissors and threatened the manager with them, according to APD.
The man fled the store with the television and an immediate police search of the area didn’t result in any arrests.
APD described as a black male, between 6’1” to 6’4” with an athletic build and a short beard. He was described as wearing a gray sweater, black pants, a red hat with ear flaps and black glasses.
