Natick Police Seek Man Who Allegedly Flew Off With $1,400 Drone

NATICK, MA—Police are seeking the public's help in searching for a man they say walked into a Natick store, and walked out with a $1,400 drone.

On April 23, a white male, appearing to be in his 40s, walked into a local store. He walked around the store on his phone for a few minutes to avoid contact with employees and eventually made his way over to where the drones were displayed, said police.

He took a boxed drone valued at $1,400 from the shelf and walked out of the store undetected. Around 5 minutes later, an employee noticed the empty space. The owner viewed the surveillance footage, watching the man take the drone off the shelft.

The suspect looks to be approximately 6'0" with a slender build and a grayish/white goatee type beard. 

Anyone who can assist with the identification is asked to contact the Natick Police Department Detective Division at: 508-647-9520. You may report anonymously using the Online Reporting system found atwww.natickpolice.com or by using this link: http://www.natickma.gov/201/Online-Reporting
