He then followed the employee to a storage room where he stole 37 phones before forcing the employee to the ground and demanding he count to 30.

The suspect was a black male who was about 6 feet tall and was wearing a black hoodie, gray sweatpants and a black hat with the letters MM written on the front in white letters. He also wore blue gloves.

Officials are hoping the footage will help the public identify the suspect and have provided contact information - and a possible reward - for anyone who helps them make an arrest.
