San Antonio police are still trying to track down a man they say pulled a knife on a Target loss-prevention worker after an attempted theft at the Alamo Ranch store. The incident happened on May 29 and, according to the department, remains very much an open investigation.
Investigators say the man allegedly tried to walk out with multiple items before store loss-prevention stepped in. When confronted, he reportedly pulled a knife and told the employee to back off, then left the scene. Police say they are actively working the case and want help from anyone who might recognize the suspect or know what happened, as first reported by News 4 San Antonio.
Police Ask Public For Tips
The San Antonio Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at (210) 224-STOP. Tip line details and reporting guidance are available on the department’s SAPD Robbery Task Force page.
Retail Theft Trend In The City
The Alamo Ranch confrontation comes as San Antonio police keep logging a steady rhythm of retail-theft and organized-shoplifting cases across the city. Earlier this month, officers arrested three people accused of using a fake receipt to steal more than $1,000 in merchandise from a Home Depot, a reminder of how store stops can escalate quickly. As reported by KSAT, those arrests are part of broader enforcement efforts citywide.
What To Do If You Know Something
Anyone who recognizes the man involved in the Alamo Ranch Target incident or has relevant video is urged to call Crime Stoppers at (210) 224-STOP or reach out to SAPD through its non-emergency channels. Police are clear on one point: do not approach the suspect yourself.
The department’s online resources walk residents through how to submit tips, including digital evidence, to investigators via the Robbery Task Force page.
