Port Charlotte police search for man who stole TV

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla.- Police are looking for a man who walked out of the Wal-Mart Super Center in Murdock this past December with a large screen television.

Just before 7 a.m. on December 14th,  a man entered the Wal-Mart, located at 19100 Murdock Circle, with a large box containing a broken LCD television loaded in a shopping cart.  The man left the cart and the broken TV at the customer service center.
