On Sunday, February 2, officials say a man walked into a Target store to pick up a few items, but he picked up those items and walked right out of the door. He stole one item, a Shark Vacuum, by just putting it under his arm and carrying it out of the store.

According to officials with Lafayette Crime Stoppers and the Lafayette Police Department say a man visited the Target Store at 4313 Ambassador Caffery on that Sunday, and he stole the following items:

A Shark Vacuum

A Shari Air Purifier

A Bogg Bag

Officials are hoping that someone will recognize the man seen leaving the store with the Shark Vacuum under one arm and the Shark Air Purifier tucked into the Bogg bag.

The man can seen wearing a beige hat and beige pants, along with a blue shirt and black jacket.
