Police in Southlake, Texas are on the hunt for a shoe thief who they think bears more than a passing resemblance to Drake. The  police department's social media team couldn't keep control of themselves, joking nonstop about the thief's famous face on Twitter. 

On January 29th, 2019, a bad guy that is definitely not Drake walked into our Kohl’s department store at 3001 East Highway 114.

Though he's clearly not Drake —he's more "coworker who asks you to go in on a QP"— the suspect has the same proclivity for bad tings. He walked out of the store with several pairs of shoes by emptying the boxes and returning them to the shelves. 

He went straight to the shoe section where his M.O. was to open up a shoe box, take out the shoes, set them aside, and then return the box to the shelf. How many did he ALLEGEDLY steal by putting them into a black totebag? Too Much. Sorry, that was a Drake reference.

Again, he's not Drake, but he did make headlines. This Imitation-Champagne Papi's haul of Converse, and Southlake's reference-filled reaction, spread quickly. 

He stole 5 pairs of Converse (size 9) and one that was a size 10 (possibly for his black male accomplice outside in a white Mazda truck). The shoes werent made out of Tuscan Leather—they were just Converses. Ugh, sorry, another Drake reference even though its not Drake.

All corniness aside, this next tweet would be hold up as gold if a satirical novelist wrote it. 

The thief is described as a Latin male in his early 30’s and he is about 5’10” and around 190lbs. He had a beard that looks like Drake when he has a beard.

As far as we know, the suspect has not been apprehended. So, Southlake gave an appropriate and groan-worthy warning. 

The Southlake Police Department always wants to Take Care of you, and we do that by putting out these bulletins for bad guys exhibiting their Worst Behaviour.
