crossett_wantedman.jpgPress Release from Detective Todd Crossett, Batavia Police Department:

The man in this photo is wanted for questioning in a larceny, that occurred today, outside the Tonawanda Valley Credit Union, at about 1220pm.  If anyone has any information into who this person is please contact the City of Batavia Police Department at 345-6444 or the confidential tip line at 345-6370.

I just called Todd with this information:  I saw this gentleman this morning in the Jackson St. parking lot, behind Main Street, half way between Ken Mislter's new gym and South Beach (I was walking down to take the picture of South Beach I used in this morning's post). That would have been about 10:30, I think. He was looking out at the parking lot like he was looking for somebody.  He did look at me and answered my "hello" tentatively. He had such a distinctive look, I was curious about him and all most stopped to chat -- wish I would have.

If you saw him around town, you should call the police department. I'm sure it would be helpful to trace his movements.

Renee, I get no indication from the police that violence was a factor. Also, I sent you an e-mail. Could you please update your profile with your real name. Thanks.

Howard, I've seen you along Main Street stopping to chat w/folks that are walking along. It brings a smile to my face. I thought, what are the odds that you saw this guy? Then I thought.. you're always about town. :0) Interesting that he crossed Main Street to catch his ride behind the Old South Beach.. Hope the police are questioning all the businesses to see if someone saw what kind of car picked him up. I know there is a lot of traffic at that ATM there.
