The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office is seeking to identify and locate a suspect in connection with a theft.

 

On Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026, at approximately 7 p.m., the subject seen in these surveillance camera images was recorded on video taking several bottles of alcoholic beverages from ABC Liquors in California, MD.  The suspect was initially denied a sale because they lacked identification. The suspect left, returned shortly after, picked up the items, and left again, passing all points of sale.

 

 

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Deputy First Class Austin Welch at 301-475-4200, ext. 8180, or by email at Austin.Welch@stmaryscountymd.gov. Please reference case #2026-2355.
