Private Detective: Man Steals From Vending Machines in Lexington

Lexington Police are looking for a man they say is stealing money from vending machines.

Police have surveillance footage from the Clarion Hotel on Newtown Pike where the man is seen stealing from a vending machine.

Investigators say the worst part is how he got in there.

On a Friday morning in late March, police were called out to Pepsi machines outside of the Save-A-Lot on Legends Lane.

The Pepsi delivery truck driver servicing the machines says that a man came up behind him with a handgun and demanded cash from the machine.

“We think that this was probably premeditated and planned, and that he knew the delivery schedule, or the service schedule,” Detective Mark Thomas with the Lexington Police Department told LEX 18.

The serviceman also told police that the robber asked for more than just the money, he also wanted his keys, specifically his service keys.

A day later that same man was captured on video taking the money from the hotel vending machines.

“We didn’t hear or see any more about this until the following day when we had received a report out at the Clarion out on Newtown Pike,” said Thomas.

Police say he came back to the Clarion about a week later and stole from the vending machines again.

Investigators figure the man has tried using the keys at other vending machines around town.

Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information leading to an arrest.
