Pennsylvania State Police looking for man accused of robbing Aldi in East Huntingdon Township
Police say the man attempted to enter the grocery store via the roof before prying open the front doors. He got away with an undisclosed amount of money.
The perpetrator that state police are looking for is a white man, wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, black shoes, a blue backpack, a light blue watch on his left wrist, and a white bandana to cover his face.
Trooper Steve Limani says that state police are pursuing all leads and reviewing business surveillance videos to solve this case, but they are also looking for help from the public.
"If anybody can identify this person or if somebody was in that shopping plaza, driving by roughly around 2 a.m., where the video footage has this person around the store, please feel free to contact us," Trooper Limani said.
Trooper Limani also said that the suspect tried to cut a hole in the roof and drop down into the office below. Eventually, he gave up and took a crowbar to the front door to get in. Limani says he was likely only inside the store and its back office for a few minutes before grabbing what he could and exiting the way he came in.
No alarms went off to notify police, and the theft wasn't even spotted until workers arrived to open the store in the morning.
Trooper Limani says they don't see a threat to the public, but he adds that the person, when caught, will be facing several charges.
"It is a burglary, which is a felony," Trooper Limani said. "So, the person is facing felony charges if we can track them down."
If anybody has any information about this robbery or this suspect, they are asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police Greensburg barracks at 724-832-3288.

NCAA set to announce the results of its sign-stealing investigation into Michigan's program
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The NCAA is expected to announce the results of its sign-stealing investigation into Michigan's college football program on Friday. In a notice sent to the school last year, the NCAA alleged that Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore violated rules as an assistant under former coach Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh, who left the Wolverines after they won the 2023 national championship and now coaches the Los Angeles Chargers, served a three-game suspension in exchange for the Big Ten dropping its investigation into the allegations after the two ended up in court. Moore also was accused of deleting text messages with sign-stealer Connor Stalions before they were recovered and provided to the NCAA. The NCAA investigation surfaced early in the 2023 season amid allegations that Michigan used a robust in-person scouting and sign-stealing operation conducted by Stalions, a former a low-level staffer. He was suspended by the school and later resigned. Stalions, who did not participate in the NCAA investigation, recently said he knew almost every signal opponents used in seven games over two seasons. Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti sent a letter to the NCAA Committee on Infractions last month, suggesting that Michigan's football program should not face more sanctions related to the sign-stealing saga. The Wolverines open the season on Aug. 30 at home against New Mexico State and then play at Oklahoma, where Moore was an offensive lineman, on Sept. 6. The NCAA does not have rules against stealing signs, but does prohibit schools from sending scouts to the games of future opponents and using electronic equipment to record another team's signals. ___ AP college football: and

Michigan sign-stealing punishment: NCAA hammers Wolverines with massive fine, additional suspension for Sherrone Moore
At long last, nearly two years after its initial discovery, the Michigan sign-stealing decision is in. In a document sent to the school on Friday, the NCAA's Committee on Infractions sanctioned the Wolverines with the following penalties, according to sources: • Four years probation• $50,000 fine, plus 10% of the budget for the football program• A fine equivalent to the anticipated loss of all postseason competition revenue sharing associated with the 2025 and 2026 football season.• A fine equivalent to the cost of 10% of the scholarships awarded in Michigan's football program for the 2025-26 academic year• A 25% reduction in football official visits during the 2025-26 season.• 14-week prohibition on recruiting communications in the football program during the probation period. The committee also slapped current head coach Sherrone Moore with an additional game suspension (on top of the two already imposed by Michigan). The committee hammered former coach Jim Harbaugh with a 10-year show-cause penalty and hit Connor Stalions, the purported ringleader of the sign-stealing scheme, with a 8-year show-case. A show-cause effectively prevents a person from coaching in college for the duration of the penalties are expected to become public with the full release of the penalties to come at noon ET, with an NCAA press conference at 1 p.m. ET. The Big Ten, alerted by the NCAA of its active investigation in the midst of the 2023 season, suspended Harbaugh for the final three games of that regular season. Michigan announced this spring a two-game suspension for Moore. It is suspending him for the third and fourth games of the season against Central Michigan and at Nebraska. The third additional game suspension, handed down by the NCAA on Friday, will be served in 2026. Moore and the Wolverines begin the season ranked No. 14 in the Associated Press preseason poll. They kick off the season against New Mexico before traveling to Oklahoma for a Big Ten-SEC showdown on Sept. 9. Meanwhile, Harbaugh is beginning his second season as head coach for the Los Angeles Chargers. Stalions has spent time coaching on the high school level. Stalions appeared at Michigan's hearing before the NCAA Committee on Infractions in June. He provided witness testimony during the two-day ordeal, even growing emotional to the point of tears while speaking about the impact of the investigation on his potential coaching career. Those present at the hearing spoke to Yahoo Sports under condition of anonymity. According to the NCAA's investigation, Stalions, a lifelong Michigan fan and graduate of Navy, operated an elaborate, multiyear system in which he bought tickets to games involving future Michigan opponents and then had associates — as many as 65 — attend games to video a team's play-call signals. Last summer, after a 10-month investigation, the NCAA formally charged Michigan with 11 allegations, six of those deemed Level I. Most notably, Moore deleted 52 texts from Stalions the same day that Yahoo Sports first unearthed news of the scandal. In a response to the NCAA in January, obtained by Yahoo Sports, the school vigorously defended its coach, describing the texts as 'innocuous and not material to the investigation.' In fact, in that 137-page response, the university refuted many of the alleged rules violations and accused the NCAA of 'grossly overreaching' and 'wildly overcharging' the program without credible evidence that other staff members knew of Stalions' illegal in-person scouting system — the central question in a case that gripped all of the college sports world as it unfolded in 2023. All sign stealing is not against NCAA rules. For instance, staff members can steal an opponent's signals during games and from television or replay video. However, in a longtime NCAA cost-containment rule, schools are not permitted to scout opponents in advance. The NCAA accused Stalions of engaging in in-person scouting of 52 games over the 2021, 2022 and 2023 seasons, many of them involving scheduled opponents of Michigan. He used Michigan staff members, family and friends to record sideline signals, according to the NCAA's investigation, which features video and photograph evidence of people videoing from seats that Stalions or accomplices purchased. Over the three-year stretch, UM went 40-3 with three consecutive conference championships and the 2023 national title. However, in its response, the school purports that the sign-stealing system offered 'minimal relevance to competition,' was not credibly proven by NCAA investigators and should be treated as a minor violation. The university and several of its coaches were considered repeat offenders. Two years ago, a separate investigation found both Harbaugh and Moore guilty of COVID-era recruiting violations. In that case, Michigan was placed on three years probation, and Harbaugh received a four-year show-cause order. Most interesting, perhaps, in Michigan's response to the NCAA was a note about the tipster. The person who originally provided information to the NCAA about the Stalions' scheme derived from its own campus. The unnamed source, which the NCAA has not disclosed, appears to have worked at Michigan, at least at one point, according to the response. This story will be updated as it develops.
