BG Police seeking help identifying man who allegedly stole money from restaurant

Unidentified theft suspect

The Bowling Green Police Division is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying this man who allegedly stole from a restaurant in the 900 block of South Main Street on Thursday (Feb. 19), around 5:50 p.m.

The man reportedly placed an order before going to the cashier to pay. He initially handed the cashier a $50 bill, then continued handing her additional bills to exchange in an apparent attempt to confuse her and “fleece the business of some dough.”

As a result of this interaction, the business balanced the cash drawers and discovered they were more than $250.39 short.

Anyone who can identify this subject is asked to contact BGPD at the non-emergency number, 419-352-1131.
