Police in North Miami Beach are looking for a man they say likes to pose as a Target employee while stealing pricey iPods, and the man allegedly knows so much about the store, he's even helped customers who thought he was a real employee.

According to police, Antonio McKenzie, 24, is wanted for stealing numerous iPod Touches from Target Department Stores throughout Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

Investigators say McKenzie simply walks into the stores, wearing a red polo shirt, and pretends he works there. North Miami Beach police officials say he has extensive knowledge of Target procedures and has even assisted customers.

Police believe he has stolen more than $17,000 worth of iPods.


NOTE: If you see this man do not apprehend him, ask him to give you a good deal on an iPod or to lend you his red shirt!
