The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the March 12 theft of $30 in merchandise from Anna Maria Rocks.
Shortly after 1 p.m., the manager at the store, 9908 Gulf Drive, saw a female person, possibly a teenager, pocket a couple of items while browsing with a friend, according to the report from MCSO.
The manager called deputies to the shop but the alleged thief had left.
The MCSO is investigating the incident as a petit larceny.
