A man pretended to be an employee of a stand inside Central Market, then stole an undisclosed amount of cash and fled Jan. 30, according to Lancaster City Police Department.
Nguyen, 44, was charged with two counts of theft by unlawful taking. A warrant was issued for his arrest.
A detailed description and sketch provided by witnesses was enough for a veteran investigator to recognize the “amateurish and cartoonish” drawing Wednesday as Hung Phuoc Nguyen, according to police.
A witness also recognized Nguyen from a photo array, police said.
