In an event that might redefine petty theft, the Albany Police Department finds itself in the
unusual position of seeking assistance to catch a Valentine's Day bandit. It seems Cupid's arrow
has missed its mark, leading one individual down a path not of love, but of larceny. The incident
which unfolded around 6 p.m. on February 12, involved the theft of a Valentine's Day basket
from an address on Slappy Boulevard. The suspect, whose romantic escapades now include a brush
with the law, was last seen making a less-than-dramatic getaway in a black Camry. He was
not alone, three other individuals were in the car, perhaps accomplices in this heartless heist
The Albany Police Department, not typically in the business of chasing down stolen tokens of
affection, has issued a plea for the public's assistance. They're asking anyone with information
on the suspect, who remains as elusive as a good Valentine's Day reservation, to come forward
Those in the know are encouraged to dial 229-431-2100 to help the police provide
the criminal with some new Valentine's Day bracelets as part of cuffing season
