According to wfsb.com, the man grabbed five packages of frozen shrimp and headed on out the door. It has yet to be determined if he grabbed a jar or two of cocktail sauce for dipping on his way out.

According to police, the white man was on the short side with a beard and was last seen traveling eastbound on Skiff Street in a silver Dodge Caravan. He might have had five packages that looked something like this under his arm.
