EXETER TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Police in Berks County have a bone to pick with one guy who allegedly stole nearly $400 worth of brisket from the Giant Supermarket in Exeter Township on February 13.

Store associates later recovered the missing meat.

Police in Berks County are looking for a man who allegedly stole hundreds of dollars worth of brisket and rechargeable toothbrushes.

But he apparently didn't stop there.

Police also think the man accused of being the "Brisket Bandit" tried to steal $375 worth of rechargeable toothbrushes from a Rite Aid in Cumru Township this past Monday.

The thief ended up dropping them in the parking lot and ran away empty-handed.

Police hope someone recognizes the man and gives them a call.
