BOSTON — A camo-capped thief returned to the same downtown Boston CVS for a second helping Wednesday morning, prompting Boston Police detectives to release surveillance photos and ask the public for help identifying him.

The District A-1 community alert, posted late Wednesday by the Boston Police Department, says the suspect first concealed merchandise and walked out of the CVS at 191 Stuart Street on June 6 at 5:09 PM. He then returned to the same store Wednesday morning at 9:32 AM and did it again.

In the June 6 incident, the suspect was wearing a dark shirt with a logo, tan or beige shorts, and dark sneakers. In Wednesday's repeat performance, he had on a dark and gray jacket, jeans, and light-colored sneakers — but the camouflage-style ball cap stayed the same on both visits.

The Stuart Street CVS sits at the edge of Bay Village and the Theatre District in downtown Boston, blocks from Boston Common, the Wang Theatre, and the Chinatown gate.

BPD detectives in District A-1 are asking anyone who recognizes the man — or who saw either incident — to come forward.

The Boston Police Department is asking the public to share any information related to this investigation by contacting District A-1 Detectives at (617) 343-4571. The community can also assist this investigation by submitting anonymous tips through:
