Suspect Identified in Lowe’s Retail Theft Using “Cash Out Scam”

At approximately 3:15 PM on May 19, 2025, two male subjects entered the Lowe’s store at 425 Easton Road, Warrington Township. One of the individuals, identified as Markeese Henderson, used a fraudulent method known as a "Cash Out Scam" to obtain over $4,700 in merchandise without payment.

Henderson first returned items purchased earlier that day from a Lowe’s in Oaks, PA, receiving $529.54 in cash. He then completed four separate transactions at the store's exterior Lawn and Garden register totaling $4,736.06, loading the items into a gray Jeep Grand Cherokee with Nebraska plates.

According to Lowe’s Asset Protection, Henderson manipulated a young cashier by presenting a card with a barcode and instructing them to press the “cash” button—falsely completing the transactions and generating receipts without actual payment.

This scam is a form of social engineering that exploits inexperienced employees.

An arrest warrant for Markeese Henderson has been issued by Judge Stacey Wertman.
