No, it is not Florida man. Entertaining story.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KTLA) – Investigators released video Tuesday as they hunt for a man who allegedly stole dozens of bags of frozen shrimp from a Southern California grocery store earlier this month.



The suspect in a large shrimp heist is seen in a Dec. 4, 2019, surveillance image released Dec. 17, 2019, by the Riverside Police Department.

Dubbed the “shrimp bandit,” the thief stuffed the chilly packets down his pants in the frozen-food section of a Vons in Riverside, police said in a news release.

The incident occurred around 12:30 p.m. on Dec. 4.

The man had to make three trips to complete the heist, but it only took him about 15 minutes, investigators said.

He was able to make off with a total of 30 bags, which officials say would have retailed for more than $500.

Police describe the shrimp bandit as a white man in his 50s with gray hair. He measures about 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighs between 150 and 180 pounds — likely depending on how much shrimp he is carrying.

The surveillance video shows him wearing jeans with a navy blue sweater and tan jacket.

Anyone who recognizes the man can contact Detective Jeff Putnam at 951-826-2054 or jputnam@Riversideca.gov. Anonymous tips may be submitted via rpdtips@riversideca.gov.

Sounds idiotic, but he may know what he's doing. It brings back memories of a mob quote from decades ago.

Someone asked a mobster what his favorite items where to steal. His answer, shrimp and lobster. They're easy sell, bring good money, and by the end of the night, the evidence has been eaten.

The real crime was committed when the salesman sold the video surveillance camera to the store owner.

Sounds like this article. The most Boston story ever. Crook steals a box truck full of lobsters and crashes during his escape into another box truck... full of lobster. https://www.bostonmagazine.com...lobster-truck-heist/

You ever see the videos of people in third world countries rushing into tanker trucks accidents with spilled fuel with their buckets and trashbags? That would be me except I'd have one of those cheap coolers from 7-11.

Was he pledging a fraternity and appointed to the social committee?

+1 At that level of quality, might as well just put up a fake camera

“...you can stuff it down your pants”

Suspect description left out the part about, "he sports a one inch dick"
