A man is wanted after stealing a bottle of body wash from a grocery store and then threatening security with a gun, according to the Philadelphia Police Department<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The man was caught on surveillance cameras<\/a> going into the Giant Supermarket on the 1000 block of South Broad Street around 12:30 p.m. on July 14, police said. <\/p>\n

Once inside, the man was seen going to the health and beauty section, taking a bottle of body wash and placing it into his backpack, officials said. <\/p>\n

In the video, the man can be seen looking up at the camera and then trying to hide his face while he waits for an employee to unlock the cabinet. <\/p>\n

The man then walked past the checkout area with paying and went to leave before being approached by security at the front door, according to police. <\/p>\n

Security at the store told police that the man put his hand into his bag and made it seem as though he had a gun inside, officials explained. <\/p>\n

The man then walked out of the store and did not pay for the merchandise, police said. <\/p>\n
