LEBANON — Police on Wednesday responded to the Walmart on Route 12A after a man stole a cashbox containing about $1,000 from a Girl Scout cookie sales table near the store’s entrance, according to a Lebanon Police news release.
The theft occurred at approximately 1:50 p.m. The suspect — described as a white male wearing a white sweatshirt, blue jeans, a black hat and a black mask — grabbed the metal cashbox and fled on foot toward a wooded area behind the plaza, the news release said.
Officers assisted by a police K-9 team tracked the suspect to the rear parking lot of the New Hampshire State Liquor Store. Surveillance footage showed the individual crossing the lot before getting into a white Jeep Grand Cherokee with unknown registration plates.
The cashbox was later recovered in the woods; the money was not inside.
