Now, Ben Salem, police, a man walked into a Walmart.
There he is right there.
He used fake paperwork to get his hands
on something that he has right there.
That is a rifle.
I want to get to Jenny Joy.
She's going to pick up the story for us.
Yeah, good afternoon, Thomas.
So we are expecting to hear from police in just
a little bit to kind of see where they're
at with this investigation.
But what we know right now is that they are following up on leads.
The last confirmed sighting that they have
of this man with the stolen rifle was from Friday
afternoon walking through Neshaminy Mall's parking lot.
So let's take a look at the surveillance
images once again. I mean, it's a concerning picture here.
And according to police on Friday
afternoon, this man walked into Ben Salem Walmart on Horizon Boulevard,
approached an employee and
showed fraudulent paperwork providing clearance for a Winchester rifle.
Surveillance video shows the man entering
a restricted employee-only area
where he placed the rifle in a rifle bag
and then left the store through the garden center.
Just before 2 p.m. Friday,
he is seen on surveillance walking through the parking lot,
again, of Neshaminy Mall through, well,
heading toward the SEPTA bus stop.
And at this point, that is the last confirmed sighting of this man
roaming around with the stolen rifle.
So as you can see in the images, he is wearing a black
jacket, dark jeans, carrying a collapsible scooter.
And once inside the store, he did put
on a yellow vest. So again, concerning story,
concerning images at this point. Again, police
have not yet located this man and they're asking anybody
who has any information on who he is or
where he might be to give Ben Salem police a call.
Back to you. All right. Certainly more to come on
this story, Jenny, and a possible statement from Walmart as well
and any policy changes moving
forward, even though he had that fake paperwork. Jenny, thank you.
