Lower Paxton Township police are looking for two men who attacked an employee at Boscov's as she tried to stop them from shoplifting.
Police say the employee was just doing her job as a Loss Prevention Specialist. She spotted two men shoplifting and went to stop them.
What started out as a retail theft ended up being a robbery. As these two men left the store with unpaid clothing, one of the suspects grabbed and threw the employee to the ground, causing slight injuries. Police say the use of force is what increased the severity of the crime.
Lt. Gary Seefeldt from the Lower Paxton Township Police says one the robbers acted like a gentleman and stopped to ask the employee if she was okay. After her assurances he joined his accomplice fleeing through an apartment complex across the street.
If you recognize either of the men, you are asked to contact Lower Paxton Township Police at 717-657-5656, the anonymous tip-line at 717-724-8317 or Crime Stoppers at 800-262-3080.
