Lowndes County, Ala. – The Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office is calling on community members to assist in identifying a suspect who allegedly stole roughly $3,500 in cash and merchandise from the Love’s Truck Stop just off I‑65 on the night of September 13.
Details of the incident
According to Lieutenant Anthony Green, the suspect entered the truck stop around 10:20 p.m. on Sunday, September 13. He slipped behind the counter and took a combination of cash and goods, totaling about $3,500, before exiting the premises.
Store surveillance captured the entire episode. The sheriff’s office has released the video publicly, hoping that a familiar face will be recognized by someone in the area.
Law‑enforcement’s request
“We’re hoping that the public can look at this individual and kind of give us information as to who he might be,” Lt. Green said. “I think that he’s someone relatively local. So, we’re hoping that the public will see this broadcast and be able to identify him.”
The sheriff’s office stresses that any tip, no matter how small, could prove vital in recovering the stolen property and bringing the perpetrator to justice.
How to help
Anyone with information about the incident or who can help identify the individual in the video should contact the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office at 334‑548‑2222 or reach out to Crime Stoppers at 334‑215‑STOP. All tips may be submitted anonymously.
