Case Updates:

 

We reported the following information on the Daily Media Report on May 19:

 

Somerset Mall North, 05/18, 9:20 AM:  Unknown suspect stole the complainant’s purse from a restroom stall.

 

Troy Police Department investigators recognized that the method used to perpetrate this crime was similar to incidents occurring in 2007.  In those incidents, a male suspect entered women’s restrooms and waited in a stall for a victim to enter an adjoining one.  The suspect would steal the victim’s purse and exit the restroom.   Investigators learned that victims reported similar crimes recently to police departments in Chesterfield Township, Marysville and Saint Clair County.

Plain clothes Officers initiated surveillance on the suspect in the 2007 incidents. 

On May 29, Officers observed the suspect enter the Meijer’s store in Fort Gratiot Township, north of Port Huron.  He entered the women’s restroom, without anything in his hands.  He exited carrying a Meijer’s shopping bag.  As he entered his car, officers observed a purse inside the bag.  Officers also located a 75-year-old woman in the store who was unaware of the theft of her purse. 

Saint Clair County Sheriff Deputies and Troy Police Department plain clothes Officers arrested the 38-year-old Detroit resident without incident in the parking lot.  In addition to the victim’s purse, officers found packaged crack cocaine in the suspect’s vehicle. 

Eric Dewayne Rogers was arraigned in the 72 District Court, Port Huron, on the charges of “Theft in a Building” and “Possession of Cocaine, Less Than 50 Grams.”  He is currently held in the Saint Clair County Jail.
