The United Bodegas of America is issuing a warning to bodega workers across The Bronx to watch out for a suspected thief dubbed the Amex Scooter Snatcher.

Surveillance video appears to show him jumping over the counter and making off with cash and other items.

UBA says they are now offering a $2,000 reward to catch the suspected thief last seen wearing an American Express backpack. The backpack is something the group says has become his signature.

UBA says the man did not use violence but comes in quietly and strikes without warning.
