Philadelphia Police have released video of a thief stealing two sets of patio furniture from an East Falls eatery.

Just before 10 p.m. on Nov. 1, the man parked a dark-colored pickup truck in front of the Epicure Cafe at Conrad and Bowman streets and proceeded to place the two iron-furniture sets, valued at $700, into the back of the vehicle before driving off.

According to police, who released the video last week, the white man with a medium build wearing a hooded sweatshirt and dark-colored pants “appears to have other furniture in the rear bed of the truck.”

Police ask anyone with information about the furniture thievery to call the tips line at (215) 686-8477, text a tip to 773847 (PPDTIP) or submit it via the department’s website.
