Niagara Falls Police responded to Petco on Military Road around 6pm on September 6th after reports of a larceny.
Upon arrival, officers spoke to the complainant who stated she works in the grooming department. While in the dog bathing area an older white male wearing all black entered the grooming area and took her cell phone that was on one of the workstations. He then left the grooming area and walked out of the store on foot. The phone is valued at $500.
The complainant had never seen the man before as she was not able to identify him apart from a brief physical description. There is surveillance video of the theft occurring and it is not believed he stole anything else from the store.
It is believed he entered the store, went to the grooming area, and left. There are no known suspects. No further information is available at this time.
