Man wanted for sneaking 2 comic books worth $600 out of an Opelika shop

Authorities are trying to identify a man who they say significantly, and intentionally, underpaid for two comic books at an Opelika store.

Police launched a theft investigation following the March 21 incident at Almost Anything which is located at 221 South Ninth Street in Opelika.

The suspect, police said, entered the store about 1:30 p.m. and bought two comic books.

While conducting inventory, the business discovered the suspect had swapped pricing and underpaid approximately $600 for the two comic books.

The suspect is seen on surveillance video wearing a dark hat, black jacket, and red polo shirt. Authorities released the surveillance video on Wednesday.

Anyone with information is asked to call Opelika Police Department at 334-745-8665 or Central Alabama Crime Stoppers at 334-215-STOP (7867) or toll-free at 1-833-AL1-STOP.
