An employee said someone broke into the store by shattering the glass front door.
When authorities arrived on scene, they noticed a trail of blood and a trail of stolen women’s underwear and bras leading away from the store, Thoroughman said.
Surveillance cameras from inside the store captured a man wearing only what appeared to be white underwear and a cape breaking the glass door.
Once the suspect went inside, he reportedly went straight to the women’s clothing section and grabbed several packs of underwear and bras, according to Thoroughman.
He was then seen running out of the store.
Detectives recovered evidence, which has since been sent for testing.
Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Jodi Conkel at (740) 351-1091.
