Authorities say that the suspect fled the Giant in the 21800 block of Towncenter Plaza in Sterling just after noon on Tuesday.

The suspect was allegedly pushing a shopping cart with 85 boxed containers of formula when he was confronted by a Giant employee. After the confrontation, the suspect fled, getting away with none of the product.

The Sheriff's Office describes the suspect as a 6-foot-tall black male with glasses and a thin mustache. He was last seen wearing beige pants and a black knit cap, leaving the area in a Ford Expedition SUV.

The investigation into the incident continues.
