Violent 'Moby Dick' booze bandit: Evasive suspect strikes again in King County, hits store clerk with bag of broken glass
WANTED IN KING COUNTY -- Clerks at a Walgreens store are on high alert for a violent shoplifter who is still on the run. Employees are afraid of the man they call the "Moby Dick booze bandit" because he is nearly impossible to catch. Twice a week for the last two months, employees at the store at 145th and Aurora say this man walks into the store, steals liquor from the shelves, and runs out. This latest theft was captured in the early morning hours of Oct. 4. When two employees confronted the suspect as he tried to exit, surveillance video shows him hit one of them with a bag of broken glass -- not once, but twice.
