Police seek Clearview Mall carrot thief
State police are requesting information regarding the theft of a 3-foot tall foam carrot and report a security guard was pulled along by the getaway vehicle in his effort to prevent it, officials said Wednesday, March 15.
Around 3:40 p.m. that day, police said a 3-foot tall foam carrot display and piñata were taken from an Easter display at the Clearview Mall in Center Township.
A security guard told police he pursued the suspects to a dark red Chevrolet pickup truck in the parking lot near Texas Roadhouse. The security guard opened the vehicle’s door to apprehend the suspects, police said, when he was dragged by the truck at 35 mph for nearly a quarter of a mile.
The security guard reported no injuries, according to documents.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper Mosura at the Troop D Butler Barracks, 724-284-8100.
