Fairfax County police are looking for a man who allegedly stole champagne from a grocery store in the Vienna area on July 4 and threatened a clerk who confronted him.

The suspect entered the alcoholic-beverage section of the Safeway store at 3043 Nutley St. at about 8:45 a.m. and asked an employee about champagne.

After the employee returned to his duties, the suspect allegedly placed six bottles of champagne into his backpack and walked out without paying, police said.

The suspect was described as white, between 18 and 22 years old, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, 140 pounds, with short brown hair. He was wearing a blue shirt, khaki shorts and white shoes, police said.
