Men steal beer from Portsmouth 7-Eleven

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) - Police in Portsmouth are looking for two men they say stole beer from a convenience store on Dec. 26.

The suspects entered the 7-Eleven on the corner of High Street and Elm Avenue at 10:45 p.m. Police spokeswoman Jan Westerbeck said the men walked around the store, as if they were looking for an item.

The two eventually left the store with two 12-packs and one 18-pack of Heineken beer without paying.

Westerbeck said the stolen items value is less than $100. Police believe the suspects may be involved in similar incidents in the city.
