The suspect left the scene with three bottles of liquor valued at more than $600.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">According to store management, the suspect entered the store in the middle of the afternoon and engaged a manager in conversation about tequila. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">While staff were assisting customers, surveillance footage shows the man returning to the liquor aisle, taking three bottles, and walking out of the store.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">A Trevor\u2019s employee pursued the suspect into the parking lot in an effort to stop the theft. The suspect turned and sprayed the employee with pepper spray, leaving her with burning, swollen eyes and throat irritation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Scott Guyette, manager of the Indian School Road location, said the incident struck a nerve because an employee was injured.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThis one struck a nerve because one of our employees was hurt,\u201d Guyette said. \u201cWe are going to pursue this person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Guyette said the suspect is believed to have visited another Trevor\u2019s location on McDowell Road, just east of Scottsdale Road, earlier that day and committed a similar theft there. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The suspect remains at large. Trevor\u2019s Liquor is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Anyone with information is asked to contact Phoenix Police:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list | article-list\">\n<li>Non-emergency: (602) 262-6151<\/li>\n<li>Emergency: 911<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\">See a spelling or grammatical error in our story? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azfamily.com\/page\/send-us-your-feedback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Please click here to report it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\">Do you have a photo or video of a breaking news story?
