LEXINGTON (25 News Now) – McLean County Sheriff’s Police are asking the public to help identify a masked man caught on camera entering a Lexington business early Friday, and they believe the same man was involved in five other thefts at the same location since mid. November.
Police say True Value Hardware in the 400 block of West Walnut Street in Lexington was targeted again early Friday. Police posted five photos of the man on the department’s Facebook page.
The suspect is a white male, approximately six feet tall, with a medium build. Police say he was wearing a dark-colored hooded jacket, black stocking cap, a bright yellow full-face mask, gray or black gloves, dark-colored jeans with rips or scuffs on the legs and black athletic shoes or slippery with white soles.
