A Washington DC man allegedly stole a police cruiser from a local college campus to go on a personal shopping spree at Lowes on Friday while he was still on the run.
Police allege the man escorted a University of the District of Columbia police vehicle from one of their campuses around 3:45 a.m., according to police.
Security footage shows the brazen thief — wearing a black hooded coat and black jeans — calmly park a gray 2020 Ford Explorer outside Lowes before strolling into the popular home grocery store.
The suspect was caught walking smoothly through the store’s empty aisles as he loaded his cart with paper towels and Tide PODS on his leisurely journey.
At one point, the man stopped in his tracks mid-shopping to find out what specific detergent he needed before pulling two buckets of Tide PODS off the shelf.
He then walked out to his car and put his things in the back seat of the police car before taking off.

Police said they have not yet arrested the suspect but have located the stolen vehicle in the Washington, DC area.
Carjackings in the Washington DC area have been on the rise lately, with more than 750 carjackings and more than 6,000 stolen vehicles — a 98 percent increase over last year, according to police.
The shopping spree in Washington DC came just days before President Biden’s Secret Service agent protecting his grandson opened fire on a group of people trying to carjack an unmarked car Sunday.
Agents protecting Naomi Biden were with her in the Georgetown area when they noticed three suspects trying to break into an unmarked Secret Service vehicle.
The Secret Service said an agent shot one of the carjackers, but none of the suspects were hit by gunfire, the Secret Service said.
