Monroe Police Department is asking the public for help identifying someone suspected of stealing beer from multiple gas stations around the city. Officers shared photos of the individual and are hoping a sharp-eyed neighbor can put a name to the face.
The department posted the images and a request for information in a Facebook post, asking whether anyone recognizes the person pictured. According to the post, the individual is suspected of stealing beer from several different gas stations in Monroe, though the specific locations and dates of the thefts were not detailed in the announcement.
How to Help Police Identify the Suspect
Anyone who recognizes the person in the photos is asked to contact Monroe Police Department at 704-282-4700. The department has not released additional details about when the alleged thefts occurred or how many stores were affected, and police are seeking help identifying the person pictured.
A related post on the department's official Facebook page, Facebook MonroePoliceNC, repeats the same contact number for tipsters. The page lists Chief Rhett Bolen among its department leadership and cites core values including integrity, honesty, professionalism, and dependability as part of its public-facing mission.
What Remains Unknown
Beyond the request for identification, little else about the case has been made public. The circumstances surrounding the alleged thefts, including which gas stations were targeted and over what time period, have not been disclosed by police. Residents with information are encouraged to come forward using the number provided.
