ROSEVILLE, Mich. (WXYZ) — Roseville police have released surveillance pictures of a man wanted in connection with the robbery of the ABC Warehouse on 13 Mile Road.

The robbery happened shortly before 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 16, as the store was closing for the day.

Police say the man was approached by an employee as he entered. The employee told the man they were closing and the suspect then asked to use the restroom.
