South Simcoe Police Service officers are releasing security camera images in a bid to identify a suspect following a gas drive-off in Bradford.
The incident took place on Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2018 at 6 p.m. at a gas station on Holland St. West. A suspect pulled up at the pumps and filled his vehicle with a quantity of gas. He left the gas station without making any attempt to pay. His rear licence plate was obscured with a black-coloured covering.
The driver is described as:
- white
- approximately 30-40 years old
- short brown hair
- goatee
- wearing a white or light grey coloured t-shirt
- khaki coloured pants
The suspect vehicle is described as:
- Mazda
- black
- 4-door, hatchback type vehicle
- dual exhaust pipes
- rear licence plate obscured with a black cover
Anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to call us at 950-77503311, 705-436-2141, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS) or you can submit information online.
Sometimes drivers make an honest mistake by forgetting to pay for gas and driving-off. Often those drivers later return to the gas station to pay. Deliberately concealing your licence plate from security cameras tells a different story.
