suitcases full of electronics from a Target store in Tacoma
on June 3.

grabbed some luggage and headed to the electronics
department where he loaded up $15,000 worth of iPads and
iPad accessories.

The man, who police describe as a 20-year-old black male,
dropped a piece of the luggage as he was fleeing
the store.

If you see the suspect or know anything more about the
crime, you’re urged to call Crime Stoppers (253) 591-5959.
A tip leading to an arrest will be rewarded $1000.
