Authorities Seek Identity of Longview Bandit

LONGVIEW — Gregg County authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who walked out of a local business without paying for several items. KETK reports that on May 9, an unknown white man walked into Home Depot and picked up a few goods. After walking through the front door, store management approached the man. At that time, the alleged thief told workers not to stop him, rather call the police. The man is believed to have left the scene in a newer model gold F-150 2-door truck.
