SUSPECT STEALS PLUMBING FROM RESTAURANT RESTROOM

(DELAWARE COUNTY, OH) January 26, 2012 – The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a report of theft from a fast-food restaurant restroom. Deputies were called Monday, January 16 to investigate a theft of plumbing complaint at McDonalds, 3942 Attucks Drive in Powell.

The manager of the store advised deputies that an employee entered the restroom to find the floor wet and the water flow heads and automatic flushers missing from both the urinal and standard toilet. Deputies reviewed surveillance video from the restaurant and were able to pinpoint a suspect: the white male is described as being between 45 and 55 years of age, wearing a stocking cap, a tan jacket and blue jeans.

“It’s likely the suspect stole this property to sell it to a scrap yard for some quick cash,” said Sheriff Walter L. Davis III. “It’s unfortunate that hundreds of dollars worth of property was stolen for small gain. We were able to obtain quality surveillance images of the suspect; we are hopeful that someone will recognize the man and contact our office.”

It’s believed that this suspect hit at least two other fast-food restaurants the same day. Those with information that could assist investigators are urged to contact the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office at 740-833-2800.
