The new staff at the T.J. Max on the 25th of Howard Street, they had a shoplifter a little over 10 minutes ago now, took several items. Sounds like they have since gone into Boston, last being taken them right towards Comab. (name withheld)? Oh, okay. (name withheld). I'll notify Boston. Just turn a 5-4-3 and other than for gun units, north side's gun units, just in case he does double back. The description of that is probably going to be a male. He has a black t-shirt and blue jeans on. He does have a forehead tattoo and a white towel around his neck. Turning a ponytail. He has a backpack which we store the items in.
