SEEKONK, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are searching for a man who stole a $4,000 bottle of Cognac from a Seekonk liquor store.
Store manager Matthew Eddy said someone stole a Remy Martin Louis XIV out of a locked glass display case Tuesday night.
“We even have a locked case to keep people from stealing this stuff, so it’s sort of brazen that they will come in and right in front of everybody do it regardless,” Eddy said.
A surveillance recording shows the man come into the store and crouch down near the lock.
“After reviewing the tapes, we saw at around 6 p.m. there was a guy coming over to pick the lock or use a key of some sort to open up the case and get the bottle,” Eddy said. “From there, he went around the backside to where someone couldn’t see him, a blind spot of some sort, and tucked it into his pants.”
Employees say the man then purchased a different item with cash and then left.
“We met with the police yesterday and filed a report with them, and we would like to press charges as well,” Eddy said.
