Authorities are searching for a man using a walker who brazenly stole cigarettes from a Walgreens in Wilmington, Delaware, in the middle of the day last week.
The Delaware State Police said that the man went behind the counter while the employee was busy in another part of the store and snatched $11,000 worth of cigarettes off the shelf before walking out of the store.
"Yes, you read that right—eleven thousand dollars' worth of smokes!" the state police wrote on Facebook.
They also included two photos of the suspect taken from the store's surveillance cameras. He was wearing a red T-shirt and red shorts and pushing a walker.
