Man steals TV from Boardman Kmart in truck with stolen plates

BOARDMAN

Police are looking for a man who reportedly kicked open the back door of a Kmart store and ran out with a television.

Employees at the Kmart on U.S. Route 224 told police a white man about 5-feet 9-inches tall, 240 pounds, in his early 30s with sandy hair picked up a television in the store about 4:15 p.m. Tuesday.

Police said the man kicked and pounded the store’s back door, damaging it, and then ran out the back door and tossed the TV in the back of a red pickup truck before speeding off.

Employees did get the truck’s license plate, but it belonged to another car and was reported stolen in Beaver Township.
