DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Police in Dallas are searching for a man who went into a Family Dollar store, entered a restricted area and stole money and personal property from an employee.

According to investigators, the incident happened in the afternoon on January 17. That's when police say the man pictured below walked into the Family Dollar located in the 1500 block of South Buckner Boulevard. The suspect was captured on video entering a storage area, that is closed to the public, and opening a storage bin.
