Thirsty Thief Steals $1,000 Worth Of Liquor From CVS Store [PHOTOS]

BLOOMFIELD TWP. (WWJ) - Bloomfield Township police are looking for a man who has stolen nearly $1,000 worth of liquor from a CVS store on three different occasions.

Police say the thirsty thief has targeted the same store every time: the CVS Pharmacy along Telegraph and Long Lake roads, in a strip mall between Kroger and Jo-Ann Fabrics. His method is simple -- walk into the store, grab a bunch of bottles and nonchalantly make an exit.
