PHILADELPHIA -- An investigation is underway after video allegedly shows a Philadelphia police officer shoplifting from a 7-Eleven.
Surveillance video obtained by Action News shows the 25th District male police officer in full uniform walking up to a cooler. He looks through the items and then grabs what a police report describes as a 12-ounce Celsius kiwi guava energy drink that sells for $2.49 plus tax.That shocked the clerk who alerted the owner's wife who was also at the counter. She did not want her face shown.
She and her husband went outside the store to let him know he had to pay for the item. They tried to flag him down but he reportedly drove away.He says he was even more shocked because he is a big supporter of the Philadelphia police. Khokhar immediately contacted an officer he befriended over the years to show him the video.
A police spokesman says the 25th District officer, whose name they are not releasing because he has not been charged, is under investigation for alleged shoplifting.Khokhar, who also did not want his face shown, says shoplifting has been a major problem.
