Man Makes Return Trips to Steal Xbox Controllers: Cops

Joliet police are looking for a man who stole six Xbox One controllers from Walmart.

Joliet police are asking for the public's help identifying a man who allegedly made not one, but two trips to the Walmart store at 1401 Route 59 to steal controllers for the popular Xbox One system.

Police allege that the suspect, who appears to be a white male, entered the store on two separate occasions Nov. 23, stealing three controllers each time, for a total of six. 

One one occasion, the man reportedly entered the store with a white female and two children, police said. On both occasions, he is believed to have been driving a blue Hyundai four-door SUV, possibly a late 2000s model.

Anyone with information on the suspects is asked to call Joliet Police Det. Lauer at (815) 724-3385 or the Joliet Police Department Investigation Division at (815) 724-3020.
