COLONIAL HEIGHTS, Va. — An unusual robbery case has authorities still searching for the culprit.

A Colonial Heights, Virginia, Walmart had four high-definition TVs stolen by a man dressed as a Walmart employee.

The crime occurred  Jan. 14 at 7 p.m.

WTVR reported that a man wearing a navy blue Walmart vest, complete with the retail chain's star logo on the back, loaded four HD TVs into a shopping cart and pushed them through an emergency exit.

"They were loaded into a waiting, full-size SUV," a Chesterfield County/Colonial Heights Crime Solvers spokesperson said. "Unfortunately, the man was not an employee of that Walmart or of any of the neighboring Walmart stores."

The man, described by police as a black man in his early 20s, was seen on security cameras walking through the store stockroom.

"He was approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and had a thin build. He wore tan cargo pants and a light gray, hooded sweatshirt under the blue Walmart vest," the spokesperson said.
