Police in Newington, Connecticut, are searching for a criminal mastermind, who managed to smash a convenience store door with his car and escape unscathed after stealing and eating a single banana.

Police responded to the burglar alarm of a local Citgo gas station convenience store around 2 a.m. Wednesday. They found the area of the front door completely smashed in. A review of the security camera footage showed a Ford Freestyle station wagon with Connecticut plates backing into the door of the store repeatedly until it broke through. Then an unidentified man, shown here, got out of the vehicle, entered the store, took one banana, peeled it, and stood there until he was done eating it.

The suspect, described as a black male in a dark jacket, wearing dark pants, and a brown hat, then left the store and drove away.

Police have released a photo of the alleged banana lover in hopes that the public can help identify him.

Anyone with any information is urged to call Newington Police at 860-666-8445
