Lewis Phillips, 27, is wanted in the Dec. 17 incident that happened at a Family Dollar store at 8076 W. McNab Road, Broward Sheriff's Office officials said Tuesday.

The victim tried to grab the phone from Phillips’ hand, and the two struggled for the device, but he eventually retrieved his phone and walked out of the store, officials said.
The woman told investigators she had been shopping in the store when she noticed Phillips following her, officials said. She said he appeared to be taking pictures and video of her without her permission, so she confronted him and had asked him to stop.
Authorities are searching for Phillips and are asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
