Arkansas Authorities Investigate Vending Machine Thefts

Police in Leachville, AR, are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect behind a string of vending machine break-ins, KAIT8 reports.

In April a thief burglarized a vending machine in Leachville and left the machine operator with an estimated loss between $500 and $700. In response, the operator installed security cameras near his vending machines located throughout the town. Last week the operator reported several other thefts and was able to catch the burglar on camera.

The police say that the suspect is an older white male with multiple tattoos. Video surveillance shows the suspect driving a white car with Missouri license plates.
