PA Mall Guard Dragged While Chasing Large Foam Carrot Theft Suspects

CENTER TOWNSHIP, PA — A Clearview Mall security guard was dragged nearly a quarter of a mile Wednesday while attempting to apprehend two men who stole a l3-foot foam carrot and a pinata from an Easter display.

According to Pennsylvania State Police, the security guard chased two suspects into the parking lot outside of Texas Roadhouse. When the suspects got into a dark red Chevrolet pickup truck, the guard opened a vehicle door.

That resulted in the guard being dragged at an estimated speed of 35 mph.

The guard was uninjured in the incident.

Anyone with information on the crime is asked to contact Butler Pennsylvania State Police.
