Screen Shot 2018-03-13 at 6.48.45 AM


Fox5 reports on MPD's search for a man who stole a gun dropped by Special Police Officer (armed security office) at the Hechinger Mall Safeway. It all started when the officer approached the suspect, who was attempting to shoplift some Tide, and a struggle ensued. The officer's gun slipped from its holster and the suspect grabbed it and ran. At one point MPD officers chased the man, but they lost track of him and he escaped with the gun.

@Anon 4:26 -- he was NOT police. "Special police" = security hired by safeway. Don't blame MPD.

Great detective work, Anonymous! With virtually no information to go on, you pinned down the exact problem and incontrovertibly identified the guilty party! Good job!
