MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- A shoplifter desperate to escape from an employee that caught him, rushed out of a Oakland Park store without a shirt.
Deputies are currently searching for the shirtless shoplifter.
According to deputies, on the evening of March 27, the manager of a Family Dollar, located at 2901 W. Oakland Park Boulevard, caught the man after she noticed him hiding behind an aisle, shoving several items into his pants.
