Police Looking For Suspect With Coordinated Outfits, Tattoos

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO — Police are looking for a man they say shoplifted from a south county Home Depot. The St. Louis County Police Department released surveillance photos of the man, highlighting his fashion style in a Facebook post Tuesday morning.

"This man likes color coordinating his outfits and his bold tattoos that cover both arms and left leg," police wrote. "He also commits felony thefts from the Home Depot in south county."

County police have a history of creative suspect descriptions meant to get shares on social media, such as one from last month where police said they were looking for a woman "too old to be wearing Aeropostale." That post got some backlash from commenters who called it ageist and sexist, and police quickly edited the original post with a more forgettable description.
