Police are asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect following a gas theft in Tilbury.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service said a man was captured on surveillance cameras fueling his blue 2008 Ford Ranger at an ESSO gas station on Queens Line at around 7 a.m. on September 1, before he left without making an attempt to pay.
The suspect is described as being in his mid-30s, wearing a brown coat, black shorts, and flip-flops.
The truck featured distinctive markings, including a horizontal aftermarket red lighting on the rear bumper, white spotlights mounted under each taillight, large “HD” stickers affixed to both upper corners of the rear windshield, a large yellow tote and a jerry can in the truck bed, and an Oakley sticker on the lower left corner of the rear windshield. A brown dog was also seen inside the vehicle.
Authorities said a search of the licence plate did not produce identification.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Constable Cole Brigley at coleb@chatham-kent.ca or 519-352-1234. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
