PHOENIX— A man is accused of doing dozens of beer runs at Valley Circle K locations since late last year.
Phoenix police report that on Aug. 15 they arrested 45-year-old Larry Pinkney for 60 thefts at two Circle K stores in south Phoenix.
Police say from November 2017 until Aug. 15 of this year, Pinkney stole cases of Budweiser and Bud Light from Circle K.
Nearly all of the thefts were from the store near 24th Street and Southern Avenue.

Pinkney has been charged with 60 counts of theft.
