Houston police say a man was caught on camera trying to leave an adult entertainment store with what was called an "expensive sex toy" after his offer to trade a voltmeter for it was refused by an employee.

The man is then seen pushing another employee out of the way as he exits without paying for the high-priced item.
Police released on Tuesday footage of the April 1 shoplifting-turned-robbery incident at the business on Richmond near Fountain View. The ordeal took place at about midnight.
The wayward customer then got into a white Ford SUV and drove away.
