A man allegedly walked into a convenience store, picked up two cases of beer and headed straight out without stopping to pay. But investigators had a little more to work with than a description of the missing Modelo.
The incident happened at a Sheetz store in Burlington, where an employee reported that a man entered the store’s beer cave, selected two cases of Modelo and left without paying.
According to the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office, the man put the beer into a vehicle driven by a woman who was waiting outside.
Deputies Track Down Vehicle
The deputy reviewed information provided by store employees and began investigating the vehicle involved.
A registration check helped identify the vehicle’s owner, and the deputy attempted to contact the people believed to have been involved.
The report indicates that investigators were able to identify possible suspects, although the deputy was initially unsuccessful in reaching them.
Case Referred for Possible Charges
The deputy documented the reported theft and continued gathering information about the incident.
The report indicates that charges were being considered against the man accused of taking the beer.
Store employees also wanted the man prohibited from returning to the property.
The sheriff’s report does not document an arrest or establish whether criminal charges were ultimately filed.
For now, the case remains an allegation of theft involving two cases of beer and a vehicle investigators were working to trace.
