Big Aspirations for Small-Time Crook
February 10th, 2010 | by Heather Lacey |Despite the unfortunate circumstances, amateur criminals and their half-cocked schemes always make for sizeable laughs. Fortunately, bloggers don’t have to wait very long for another one to come along and execute a real boner, especially in the U.S.
Police in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina are augmenting the search for a man accused of shoplifting three boxes of ExtenZe all-natural male enhancement pills on February 9. Whether or not the suspect is a hardened criminal is yet unknown, but he has obviously gone to great lengths to avoid incarceration. Premature reports suggest that the thief is still at large.
The man aroused suspicion when he left the store without making a purchase, and a store employee uncovered three empty packages of the enhancement product hidden in the candy aisle. Despite rising demand, the boxes of ExtenZe had a firm retail price of $41.99 each.
The crime of passion was caught by a video surveillance camera, which was erected in a high-traffic area of the CVS pharmacy. Stiff state penalties exist for shoplifting crimes, and Myrtle Beach police are mounting efforts to catch this man, including an extensive review of the evidentiary tape.
