Chattanooga police are looking for a man they say has committed a rash of robberies at several local Walmarts.

Police spokesman Nathan Hartwig said the suspect follows a pattern: He enters the store – usually after midnight – picks a cash register, then uses a pry bar to force open the register and take the cash inside.

The suspect is described as a black male and he has been spotted wearing khaki shorts, striped sport shirts and a dark ball cap.

Anyone with information about the thefts is asked to call the Chattanooga Police Department at 423-698-2525 or Chattanooga Area Crime Stoppers at 423-698-3333.
