Sharp-Dressed Man Swipes Sunglasses from East Lake Eye Care

Pinellas County Sheriff’s deputies are on the hunt for a man they say dressed up 70’s style and then paid a visit to a Palm Harbor business where he proceeded to shoplift sunglasses.

Wearing a 70’s blue polyester suit, a white button-down dress shirt and dark shoes, the man entered East Lake Eye Care, 3434 East Lake Road, No. 3, around 3:50 p.m. July 29. The man checked out the store’s sunglass collection and then left. It was after his departure a store employee discovered sunglasses missing from a few racks, an email from the sheriff’s office said.

The man was caught on surveillance taking sunglasses and hiding them inside his jacket pockets.

The man is described as being about 50 years old and stands about 6 feet tall. In addition to his unique sense of fashion, he also has a heavy build, straight collar-length hair and sports a mustache.
