(Westville, IN) - La Porte County Police say a polite shoplifter wearing a face mask and different colored shoes hit a store last night in Westville.

The man, at about 6:15 p.m., walked into the Dollar General on U.S. 421 wearing a black face mask, a white hooded sweatshirt, and mismatched footwear; a white shoe on one foot, a tan shoe on the other.

 

About 20 minutes later, the man, while carrying a tote, reportedly walked past the register without paying for it and told a clerk “Have a good night” before leaving the store.

 

He was last seen in a white four-door SUV with gold trim heading northbound on U.S. 421. 

 

Employees believe the large tote contained an unknown amount of store items, with one employee telling investigators that he personally saw him in the clothing and medication aisles of the store. 

 

The suspect was described as white, roughly six feet tall, and in his late teens or early 20s judging by the sound of his voice.
