GILROY, CA — Police officers seek the public's help in locating a suspect who's accused of taking a bucket and Milwaukee batteries from the Home Depot about a week ago without paying for the items.

The suspect is seen on the home improvement store's surveillance camera walking out with its branded bucket, declaring: "Let's Do This."

The photo was shown on the police department's Facebook page, with a comment:"Maybe the words on the bucket gave him the inspiration he needed to pull it off."
