UPPER MORELAND TWP., Pa. - Authorities in Montgomery County are searching for a crafty criminal who they say posed as a Walmart employee to steal an expensive virtual reality headset from a locked case. 

The Upper Moreland Township Police Department said the bold theft happened last Friday morning at the Walmart in Willow Grove. 

According to police, the unknown man wore a Walmart employee vest and convinced an associate to give him the keys to a locked electronics case.
