Police are searching for a man who they said stole a 26-inch flat screen television that was recently installed at Sutter Roseville Medical Center.

Police said the theft occurred at about 2 p.m. on July 3, in a respite room located in a new wing of the hospital that houses oncology. The respite room is a place for family of oncology patients to take a break from the stress of coping with the serious illness of a family member, according to police.

Police said a nurse witnessed the man leaving the respite room with a large object covered in dark plastic garbage bags. The nurse checked the room, discovered the theft and notified security. Hospital security was unable to locate the suspect.

The thief is described as a white man in his 20s, 5 feet 10 inches, and 160 pounds, with short straight brown hair. He was last seen wearing dark sunglasses, a stained white T-shirt and faded black cargo pants.
