SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

 

On July 2, 2024, The Vermont State Police received a report of a theft complaint at the Dollar General in the town of Jericho. Store employees advised that a male had walked into the store, loaded a basket full of items and left without paying for them. The male was described to be roughly 5’4 , wearing a black tank top, glasses, a black and grey baseball hat, and dark navy shorts with flip flops.
