On Wednesday, May 9, 2018, around 11 a.m., police were called to the Rona on Dissette St. in Bradford. A 37-year-old man reported that his wallet had been stolen from his unlocked vehicle in the front parking lot of Rona sometime between 1:45 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 8, 2018.
The victim's debit and credit cards were used at four different businesses in Bradford between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. that afternoon. There were additional transactions in the Newmarket area.
Officers obtained security camera images from businesses where the stolen cards were used. Images of the suspect are attached.
The suspect is described as:
- male, white
- shaved/short, dark hair
- mustache and goatee
- wearing a black top
- carrying a large tote bag
- riding a bicycle
South Simcoe Police Service wants to take this opportunity to remind members of the public to lock their vehicles regardless of where the vehicle is parked.
Unlocked vehicles are an easy target for thieves in your driveway and public places. Lock Or Lose It is more than a campaign. It's a real possibility that you will lose your possessions if you leave them in an unlocked vehicle.
If you recognize the suspect in the security camera images, please call South Simcoe Police Service at 705-436-2141, 905-775-3311 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
