Large Man Driving Tiny Scooter Helps Women Steal Tools

OAK CREEK, WI -- A male shoplifting suspect the size of an NFL lineman served as quite the distraction after police say he drove a tiny scooter while acting as a lookout for the people conducting the theft.

About $1,500 in power tools were stolen from the Oak Creek Farm and Fleet after a scooter-riding man acted as lookout for two female theft suspects.

Oak Creek police responded to the Farm and Fleet at 501 W. Rawson Ave. on a report of a retail theft.

According to the police report, three suspects reportedly entered the store just before 5 p.m. on Jan. 17 and stole approximately $1,500 in power tools.

The suspects were described as

1) a black male between six-foot-three and six-foot-six and weighing between 250-275 pounds, wearing a black coat, black pants, black winter hat and sunglasses

2) a black female between five-foot-five and five-foot-seven weighing between 130-145 pounds wearing a green jacket, a Chicago Bears winter hat and gray pants

3) a black female between five-foot-five and five-foot-seven weighing between 130-145 pounds with long hair and wearing a white jacket and blue jeans.
According to the report, the male suspect grabbed a scooter once they entered the store and the female suspects went to the power tool aisle and began picking up items.

The male suspect was reportedly driving the scooter and acting as a lookout.
The suspects left in an unknown vehicle, however the Oak Creek Farm and Fleet loss prevention officer told police that the Waukesha location was investigating a similar incident.
