Police are looking for the man who they say stole more than $200 worth of lottery tickets in Wolcott and they said he was partially disguised in a wig.
The man went into Petro Pats gas station at 690 Wolcott Road and asked the clerk for what amounted to $210 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets and a pack of cigarettes.
The clerk had the lottery tickets and was getting the cigarettes when the man snatched the tickets from her and ran out of the store to a white Nissan Sentra, then went south on Wolcott Road, police said.
It happened around 10:41 a.m. and police are looking for a 5-feet-6-inch-tall man seen in a long black wig, a gray hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans and black sneakers.
The license plate on the Nissan was A175951.
