LA GRANGE, Ill. (STNG) - A man impersonating a Relay for Life volunteer stole 100 burritos intended for a benefit concert Sunday in west suburban La Grange.
Police are searching for a thin, middle-aged, balding white man who picked up the burritos from Chipotle Mexican Grill at 1 S. La Grange Road at 4:43 p.m. Sunday. Chipotle was donating the food for the fundraiser.
The man, who wore a black Relay for Life T-shirt, had called earlier in the day asking to get the food ahead of the scheduled 6 p.m. pickup, the manager reported.
The Relay for Life group at Lyons Township High School had planned to sell the donated burritos at $4 each during a benefit concert.
The manager described the man as about 45, 5-foot-9- with black curly hair and a receding hairline, wearing prescription glasses and driving a newer model brown Dodge Charger with black and brown leather seats.
Erin Nevicosi, a spokesperson for Chipotle, "I just hope bad karma catches up with him." The concert still generated $1,500, including a $500 donation from two parents to cover the burrito sales loss. |
