Police are looking for a man who snatched a laptop from a Long Island Best Buy.
Authorities say the thief walked into the Elmwood store just after 6 p.m. on Jan. 11, picked up a laptop from the floor display and walked out of the building.
The suspect drove away in a vehicle that looks like a Ford Explorer, police say.
The man is described as being between the ages of 30 and 40. He was wearing a gray and black coat at the time of the heist.
Suffolk County Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest.
