GRAPEVINE (CBSDFW.COM) - Police want you to look at a few pictures and see if you can help identify the man who impersonated a Walmart employee and walked away with a pallet of televisions.

Investigators say the theft happened on August 8 at the Walmart store on State Highway 114.

The man seen in the photos above and below walked into the store dressed like a Walmart worker, complete with vest and name badge. The suspect went straight to the back stockroom and got a pallet jack. He then loaded the pallet with four big-screen televisions and guided them out of the store.

Once outside, the suspect got help from another man and loaded the TVs into a tan or silver colored vehicle that police believe could possibly be a Nissan Murano.

Workers at the store saw the men and were able to give police the Texas license #FNN-1702, but the plate came back as belonging to a 2015 Land Rover which is not the vehicle it was attached to.

Police believe the suspect dressed as the fake employee is the same suspect who just one week later stole several high ticket items from a Walmart store in Bedford.

Anyone with information about the man seen in the pictures or the thefts is asked to contact the Grapevine Police Department at 817-410-3200.
