Chesterfield cops seek energy drink theft suspect

Chesterfield Township police are seeking a man who stole more than $250 worth of energy drinks from a drug store, officials said Monday.

The theft happened just before 10 p.m. on March 19 at the CVS/Pharmacy located on 23 Mile at Callens Road, police said.

The suspect entered the store, picked up a plastic hand basket, took dozens of bottles of 5-Hour Energy drinks and fled. The store charges about $3 a bottle.

The suspect is described as a white male in his 40s with a beard, about 6-foot-tall and 185 pounds. He was wearing a black winter hat, a gray sweatshirt that had a logo on the pocket over his heart and faded jeans.
