By Jason Schwartz

Police are searching for a man identified only as “Chief” who allegedly stole an 80-year-old man’s wallet from his pocket.

The victim told police he arranged to meet an escort he found on a website. The man arrived at the Quality Inn, 2899 N. Federal Highway, and went to the room where “Amy” was waiting.

The man said he felt something was not right and told “Amy” that he needed to leave. But “Amy” was actually “Frank,” police said.

As he stepped outside the room, he was accosted by a male who took his cellphone from his pants pocket, according to a police report.

While the victim waited in the lobby for police to arrive, he saw the suspect walk through the lobby and left in an unknown direction.

Police questioned “Amy”, or rather “Frank”, who told them he only knows the suspect as “Chief.”

The suspect is black, 20 to 30 years old with short hair, between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-8 with a thin build, police said.

Anyone with information, or who can identify the suspect, is asked to call Det. Jeff Stepp at 561-6220-6196 or Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at 800-458-TIPS.
