Just call him the Dippin’ Dots bandit.

According to the Tyler PD, the Polo shirt wearing man pictured here dropped through the ceiling above the Dippin’ Dots Ice Cream inside Broadway Square, 4601 S. Broadway Ave., while the store was closed and grabbed a bag of the frozen treats.

And he did it “all while licking on a sucker!” a post on the department’s Facebook page says.

“Then he shimmied back through the hole and left into the night,” says the PD.

His illegal quest for Dippin’ Dots deliciousness was captured on a security camera.

Those who recognize the man are asked call 903-531-1035 or Tyler-Smith County Crime Stoppers at 903-597-2833. #FindEmFriday#TylerPD

My daughters loved Dippin Dots as kids. My boys, for whatever reason, not so much. I think they just wanted lager scoop sizes.

In 2015, [Sean Spicer] tweeted angrily at the company’s corporate Twitter account to complain that a concession stand at Nationals Park in Washington had run out of vanilla-flavored Dippin’ Dots.

Ok. What pray tell is the point of vanilla flavored dippin' dots. I love vanilla ice-cream. Especially with real vanilla and real cream in the ice-cream. But plain ol' ordinary vanilla dippin' dots. How about chocolate and caramel and almond and blends like that. Or tutti frutti - not that I am a fan of fruit flavored ice-cream.

But vanilla sort of seems to mis the whole point of the dots.
