Arlington Heights police responded on Wednesday, May 19, 2021 to report that a victim’s credit cards and/or debit cards were stolen from a locker at LA Fitness, 345 East Palatine Road in Arlington Heights. The locker theft is initially determined to have occurred at about 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, May 19, 2021.

Following the locker theft, the offender used the stolen credit cards and/or debit cards at Best Buy, 615 East Palatine Rd. and Dick’s sporting goods at 401 E. Palatine Road — both in Arlington Heights in the same shopping center.




The suspect is described as a heavy-set male/black with short black hair, wearing a red T-shirt and dark or black pants. He was also carrying a pair of eye glasses attached to the collar of his T-shirt. The suspect was also wearing a black COVID-19 mask, covering his nose and mouth.

The Arlington Heights Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying the offender.
