MAHOMET -- Police hope security photos will help them catch a man accused of stealing liquor. The man has taken liquor from the Mahomet IGA at least four times since August with the most recent theft in late October.
You can see security photos of the man below. Police say he's got blond hair, 5' 7" tall, and about 190 pounds.
Investigators say he's hiding the bottle of alcohol in his clothes or jacket when he leaves. In some of the pictures, he's wearing a dark jacket with a cap that may have a Dallas Cowboys logo on it.
Mahomet Police Chief Michael Metzler believes he's either driving an older, dark pick- up truck with a partial plate of 9552 or a red Pontiac with a spoiler and a partial plate of A59 or A79.
If you you recognize the suspect, call Champaign County Crime Stoppers at 373-TIPS. Or text: CCTip plus your information and send it to CRIMES. Or log on to submit your tip. You could get a cash reward. And you don't have to give your name or testify in court.
