A man who was caught on camera stealing an item but no cash from a Westchester adult store in April is still being sought by police.

The incident occurred about 10:50 p.m. April 18 when the suspect entered the store in the area of Lincoln Boulevard and 84th Street, the Los Angeles Police Department said Monday.
