Automatic door slows — but doesn't stop — dollar store thief
YOUNGSTOWN — Reports said a man who took $5 Tuesday out of the cash register at the 2023 Market St. Dollar General store on the South Side ran into an automatic door before it could open and broke it.
Police were called to the store about 7 p.m., where employees said the man came to the counter with a bottle of pop like he was going to pay for it and when the cashier opened the register the man reached in, grabbed five $1 bills and ran towards the door.
The automatic door would not open fast enough and the man ran into it, breaking it so that it would not lock, reports said. He got outside the door and managed to run away, reports said.
