Police looking for ID of larceny suspect

By Howard B. Owens

Batavia PD is requesting the public's assistance in identifying a man accused of stealing money from the Plaza Spirits Liquor Store, 563 E. Main St., Batavia, at about 5 p.m., Sept. 21.

The suspect is described as a black male, 50 to 60 years old, 5'10" or 5'11" and 250 to 300 lbs.

Police believe the man created a distraction and then while the store clerk wasn't looking, removed cash from the register. He then left in the red SUV shown in the picture below.

The suspect may be involved in similar larcenies outside of Genesee County. 

Anybody with information that may assist in the investigation are asked to call Det. Eric Hill at (585) 345-6373.

Because the police released it today.

And the police probably released it today because either they felt all other leads had been exhausted, or with the possibility of the same thing occurring in other jurisdictions, they wanted to ramp up the effort to ID the suspect.
