Surveillance shows man flee Mall of Millenia with pile of stolen jeans

ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando police have released video of a shoplifter who targeted the Mall of Millenia during the day.

Video shows the thief sprinting through the mall's parking lot on Conroy Road with his arms full of stolen jeans from Macy's.

Authorities said the man casually walked by the cashiers with the pile of denim and then ran away when he left the store, but not before surveillance cameras got a clear shot of him.

"I think they're crooked, and they have no heart for the holidays and people who actually work hard and spend a lot of money," said shopper Camilla Castillon.

The thief hid in some nearby palm trees and then hopped into a getaway car that was described as a gray sedan.

Police said the man got away with eight pairs of True Religion jeans valued at $1,500.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
