Man arrested for retail theft

A 48-year-old Evanston man was arrested Tuesday for retail theft from the Cost Plus World Market, 1725 Maple Ave.

Henry said EPD has been working on the case since October 2019, when the store first brought the theft to EPD’s attention. Police said the man has taken items on multiple occasions and attempted to return them for reimbursement.

Henry said the store suspected the man of theft more than once, but employees were able to provide surveillance footage to EPD detectives, which led to the arrest.
