Police are searching for a man captured on surveillance videos stealing cases of energy drinks from Keene supermarkets and who may have stolen a car in the city Sunday.
The man — who is in his 40s, bald, about 5 feet 6 inches tall and 140 pounds — has stolen or attempted to steal large quantities of Red Bull and Monster energy drinks and other groceries from local stores on Oct. 7, 17, 21 and most recently on Oct. 22 at Hannaford supermarket, police said in a news release.
Other stores hit by the energy drink thief have included Price Chopper and Shaw’s, police said.
In one incident, police said the man left in a white Jeep Cherokee with Massachusetts license plates.
In another, he got into a small silver car with a second male who helped him load the car with the drinks, and in a third incident employees noticed him making hand signals to someone and he was followed by a white or silver older model Cutlass.
The man is also a suspect in the Oct. 23 theft of a green 2005 Dodge Magnum with N.H. license 2446573 from Jake’s Five Star Convenience on Roxbury Street, police said.
An officer reviewing video realized the vehicle thief, described as wearing a red ski hat, a red jacket and blue jeans, may have been the man stealing energy drinks, police said.
