OCPD asking for help to identify arcade theft suspects

The Ocean City Police Department says it is asking for help from the public in order to try to identify two suspects involved in multiple arcade machine thefts.

On September 26 and 27, police were called to respond to four resort hotels after a total of eight arcade machines were broken into and the coins inside were stolen.

The suspects are reported to have committed the thefts during the daytime hours, and would target machines that did not have extra security features.

The first suspect is described as a man with short blond hair and having a medium build. At the time of the theft, he was reported to be wearing a dark colored shirt, shorts and shoes.

The second suspect is described as a heavy set woman with dark hair. She was last seen wearing a teal shirt, light colored shorts, and carrying a striped handbag at the time.

Citizens that may recognize either of the suspects or have information about the incident are asked to contact Dfc. Nick Simpson at 410-520-5349 or nsimpson@oceancitymd.gov.
