This could be called a high-steaks robbery.

According to a release from the Broward County Sheriff's Office, authorities are looking for a man caught on camera stealing steaks from a South Florida Publix.

Deputies say that the man, donning “a short salt-and-pepper haircut,” a black shirt, black pants and black Nike shoes, stole from the meat department of a Weston Publix on Feb. 5. The man grabbed several skirt steaks and tenderloins, placing them in his cart and bagging them himself, without paying, before walking out with meat worth $151.

The store’s manager said the man has been known to steal meat from Publix markets in the area, but police have not been able to identify the suspect.
