The man walked into a store at Washington Avenue and Buffalo Drive around 1 p.m. Aug. 29, , according to a statement Tuesday from the Metropolitan Police Department.

He is described as a white, 5-foot-6, weighing 150 pounds and with tattoos on his arms and neck. He was last seen wearing a black hat, a black T-shirt with dark shorts.
