OAK CREEK, WI — Authorities are looking for a TJ Maxx coat thief who reportedly stole more than $3,000 worth of merchandise over a little less than a month.

According to the police report, TJ Maxx security spoke with Oak Creek police on Jan. 25 to report a retail theft suspect who reportedly walked off with $3,119 in winter jackets.

According to the report, a white male suspect conducted six thefts between Dec. 19 and Jan. 10, each time, going directly to the store's winter coat section and taking three-to-five coats at a time, and then walking directly out of the store without paying.

Loss prevention staff were able to provide police with images of the suspect, as well as the likely day and time he returns to steal more coats.
