EPD seeks grocery store register bandits

Evansville Police are asking for help identifying three people involved in at least four thefts from cash registers. The thefts have happened at four different grocery stores in Evansville.

Police say the method usually involves two of the suspects blocking the cashier’s view of the third suspect as he steals cash from an adjacent, unattended register. The thefts happen quickly and have gone undetected until the register is opened later by an employee.

Police are asking anyone who can identify the suspects to call 812-436-7979.
