Police shared the drawing on its crime watch page, and while it was initially mocked by some for its simplicity, officials said it did the job.
The drawing, paired with the witness’s description of the suspect, led investigators to believe Hung Phuoc Nguyen, 44, to be the man behind the looting.
Detectives included Nguyen’s image in a lineup for the witness to identify, and they picked the alleged thief’s photo as the person behind the Jan. 30 heist.
Investigators checked Nguyen’s last known home address, but he was not there. His whereabouts are unknown.
Lancaster City police shared Nguyen’s photo on their Facebook page, where one person commented: “As much as I laughed at the sketch, it wasn’t entirely that far off.”
