Mount Clemens, MI – Authorities in Macomb County are asking for the public’s help identifying a man connected to an alleged retail fraud incident at a Mount Clemens tobacco shop earlier this month.
According to the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office, the incident occurred on December 4, 2025, when a male suspect allegedly removed an item from the store counter and quickly exited the business without paying. Deputies say the theft was reported shortly afterward by store staff.
Investigators describe the suspect as a man with short black hair who was wearing a North Face jacket at the time of the incident. According to deputies, the individual is believed to be a frequent customer of the tobacco shop, which may increase the chances that someone recognizes him.
After leaving the store, the suspect allegedly fled the scene in a silver Honda, according to the sheriff’s office. No injuries were reported, and the value of the stolen merchandise has not been publicly released.
The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating the case and is asking anyone with information about the suspect’s identity to come forward. Authorities emphasize that tips from the public can play a critical role in resolving retail fraud cases, especially when suspects are known to frequent local businesses.
Anyone who recognizes the individual or has relevant information is urged to contact Detective Dibble at 586-307-8230. Tips can also be submitted by email to taylor.dibble@macombcountymi.gov. Callers may be eligible to remain anonymous.
Residents and business owners in Mount Clemens and surrounding communities are encouraged to report suspicious activity and review store surveillance when possible.
