Natick police are searching for tips that lead to the apprehension of a man who allegedly ripped off numerous pairs of expensive sunglasses at a local store.

Video surveillance shows ton May 24 around 6 p.m. a man entered the store. He was wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans, and appears to be in his early to mid thirties with short grey and black hair, and a bump on the bridge of his nose. He carried a Crate and Barrel bag with him.

The glasses are valued at $325 each for a total of $650.
