Sheriff's Office Asking For Public's Help To Catch Phone Thief

The Greenville County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's assistance in identifying a man who stole a brand new cell phone several weeks ago from a Greenville store. 

On Aug. 29, an unknown black male entered the T-Mobile retail store located at 525 Congaree Road in Greenville with what appeared to be the intention of purchasing a new cell phone, Laura Campbell, spokesperson said.  

While the clerk was scanning the cell phone at the register, the suspect grabbed the phone from the clerk and fled the store. 

The suspect is described as being in his mid 20’s, approximately five feet, six inches tall, weighing 150 pounds, with a military style haircut and mustache or goatee. 

The suspect was wearing a white t-shirt and khaki pants and has a gold front tooth and tear drop tattoos under his left eye. 

Greenville County Sheriff’s Office Property Crimes Investigators are attempting to identify the suspect so appropriate charges may be filed and an arrest made. 

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office at 864.271.5210 or Crime Stoppers at 23-CRIME. The GCSO released surveillance stills Thursday in hopes someone in the public may recognize the suspect.
