Lehighton Borough Police Department is seeking information on the identity of an individual who robbed a business in the borough early Monday morning.

At around 4 a.m., police were dispatched to 701 Mahoning St., “Olde Tyme Corner Store” for a report of a burglary in progress.

Police said the offender was observed by store video surveillance breaking through the front door of the business, enter the store through a broken glass panel and remove over $400 of merchandise from within.

Police said the offender then fled the area on foot, last seen running south on Seventh Street from the business.

Police said the offender appears to be a male with an athletic build, wearing a ski mask to obscure their face, dark short sleeve “Lil Wayne THA CARTER” T-shirt, black shorts, white socks and black slides (Puma brand).

The scene was processed by the Lehighton Borough Police Investigations Unit. Fingerprints and blood evidence was collected at the scene.

Merchandise from the business was found along South Seventh Street, between Mahoning Street and Iron Street.

Lehighton Borough Police is in the process of canvassing the area for any residential video footage which may have captured the offender fleeing the area and interviewing all witnesses.

If any resident in the area of south Seventh Street/Iron Street has any video footage from the early-morning hours which may have captured the offender, or if they can identify the owner by the photos, they should contact the Lehighton Borough Police Department and ask to speak with Detective Matthew Arner, 610-377-4003, or the department “Tip Line” at 610-377-6519.
