At approximately 10 p.m. Wednesday, an unknown male subject walked into a business in the 1400 block of College Parkway.

The man was wearing white shoes, blue jeans, a tan or beige jacket and a blue beanie hat. The man spoke with a thick Spanish accent. Stills from the video surveillance were captured at the business.
