'Valentine’s Day Candy Bandit' Sought By Harford Co. Sheriff's Office

JOPPA, MD — Officers are searching for the sweet-toothed suspect they say stole four full display boxes of candy bars on Valentine's Day from a gas station.

The incident happened Feb. 14 at the Royal Farms on Mountain Road. The suspect, who was in a truck reported stolen, walked into the store, picked up two full display boxes of candy bars, walked out and put them in his truck, according to the Harford County Sheriff's Office.

"He then calmly walked back in, purchased a soda and then went back out to the truck. Assuming that a soda and two whole boxes of candy bars wasn’t enough to satisfy his craving, he went back into the store and stole two more full display boxes of candy bars," the sheriff's office reported.

Referred to as the "Valentine’s Day candy bandit" by the county sheriff's office, if anyone has any leads on who he is and where he's at, they're ask to call the Southern Precinct at 410-612-1717.
