ROCHESTER - Rochester Police are looking to track down one suspect and identify the other after an incident at the Rochester Market Basket earlier this month in which the pair allegedly walked out of the store with a shopping cart full of food plus a couple of 30-packs of beer to wash it down.

Shoppers who witnessed the pilsner pilfer alerted store personnel who called police around 6 p.m. on Sept. 6.

The pair got away, but tipsters who saw the pair's photos on the Rochester Police Facebook Page called police and an investigation was able to confirm the identity of one of the men, whom police would not identify today. He was, however, said to be from the area and still at large.

The other man, who can be seen in surveillance video wearing an orange T-shirt, has yet to be identified.

Tipsters who recognize him from the photo are asked to call Rochester Police.
