Randy Thief Rolls Away With $300 in Condoms

Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies are looking for help identifying a man they say swiped more than $300 worth of condoms from a Tampa CVS earlier this month.

While it’s unclear what brands were taken or if the haul is all for personal use, deputies do know a man walked into the 8603 W. Hillsborough Ave. store around 2:08 p.m. March 3 and loaded a bag full of the ill-gotten prophylactics.

Once he had his fill, deputies say the man hopped into the back seat of a white 2004 Lincoln Aviator that sped away in an unknown direction.

Deputies would now like to speak to the man in question. Courtesy of store surveillance, they have a pretty good description of him and a photo to share. They just don’t know his name yet.

The man is described as being between the age of 30 and 35. He is black and is estimated to be about 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighs about 180 pounds. He was last seen wearing black jeans, a black dress shirt and black shoes.

Anyone with recognizes the man is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 813- 247-8200. Anonymous tips that may be eligible for a cash reward may also be submitted through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-873-TIPS (8477), going online to www.crimestopperstb.com or texting “CSTB plus your tip” to C-R-I-M-E-S (274637).
