RHINELANDER, WI (WSAU) — Rhinelander Police have identified a man accused of stealing several items from a Menards.
Tuesday evening the Rhinelander Police Department identified the subject of a mid-June shoplifting incident at the Menards in Rhinelander. The department thanks the public for its help in identifying the suspect.
__________________________
The man entered the store in Rhinelander on June 22nd and walked out with several items including a cordless hammer drill and impact driver combo kit. He then fled the store in a Chevy Tahoe or GMC Yukon-type SUV with Minnesota plates.
Store officials were able to get his image off security cameras, and several days later an employee noticed him in the store again. This time he was heading for the exit with a table saw. The employee began to approach him, and the man left the saw in the store before fleeing in the same vehicle.
Police released his image and are encouraging other stores in the region to be on the lookout for him. If any other department or store has had similar thefts from someone matching his description, you’re asked to call Officer Chad Brown with the Rhinelander PD at 715-365-5300 or email CBrown@RhinelanderPD.com.
