It happened near the Wellington Estates, authorities said. 

Local residents reported seeing helicopters hovering over the area around 2:15 p.m. It was not immediately clear if the aircrafts were assisting with the search.

The suspect is a black man in jeans, possibly with a camouflage jacket. Anyone who spots him should call 911, police added. 

Last month, the department credited a new fleet of drones for nabbing a shoplifting suspect, as reported by 6abc.
