A shoplifter is caught by police, but not before he is caught by his dreadlocks.

Mobile police say Gregory York stuffed steaks and several other items in his pants and tried to walk out of the Greer's Food Tiger on Broad Street Tuesday afternoon. The manager grabbed York by his shirt and dreadlocks. Some of the merchandise fell out of York's pants. But he got away with at least two packs of steaks.

The manager gave police a description. They caught him later in the day. Police say this is not the first time York has been charged with robbery.
