Police say someone made off with the Blue Man Group's costumes following a performance in Kansas Tuesday night.

"Several outfits” worn by the entertainers, who are known for their blue skin and bald heads, were snatched from Wichita's Century II performing arts center. The articles are valued at more than $1,000, Wichita police Sgt. Nikki Woodrow told The Wichita Eagle.

“If anybody sees any blue men running around, call 911,” Woodrow said.

Police suspect that this may be the man who made off with the costumes, which are valued at more than $1,000.

Police released an image of a man believed to have made off with the belongings. The baseball-capped suspect is seen carrying a white laundry basket as he makes his way down a hall.

The Blue Man Group is scheduled to perform in Topeka, Kansas, Thursday night.

A spokeswoman for the group, reached by CBS News, called the theft "a very minor event" that won't stand in the way of future performances.

"It in no way dampened our enthusiasm for performing for the incredible crowds in Wichita. We had a great time there and we look forward to playing there again soon," said Laura Camien.

At press time, it was not clear whether former Boston-area analyst and therapist Tobias Funke was involved in the incident.
