Man Robs Taylors Business For Earphones

The Greenville County Sheriff's Office is investigating an incident over the weekend in which a man who was caught stealing physically forced his way out of the store with merchandise. 

At about 11:45 A.M. SATURDAY, an unidentified black male entered the Radio Shack at 3024 Wade Hampton Boulevard, which is across the road from Wal-Mart in Taylors. 

He went to the earphone section of the store, where the store manager reportedly watched the suspect, who appeared to have a box inside his jacket. 

When the manager tried to confront the suspect at the door about shoplifting, the suspect reportedly used his shoulder to strike the manager, who was blocking his exit. The unidentified man was able to force the door open and leave. The struggle made the suspect drop a earphone box, which was empty. He made off with a set of earphones valued at $180. 

The suspect is described as approximately 40 years old, five foot three, and 120 pounds, wearing blue jeans, a yellow shirt, blue jacket and a red baseball cap.  Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 23-CRIME.
