Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and Riverhead Town Police are seeking the public’s help to identify and locate the man they say stole tools from a Wading River hardware store.
Police released a surveillance camera image of the man they say stole two Dewalt drill impact guns from Ace Hardware on Route 25A in Wading River on November 28 at 1:38 a.m. Police described the man as white, tall with a thin build between 20 and 30 years old who wore his hair in a bun. He had tattoos on his left hand and left side of his neck, police said.
The suspect fled the scene in a waiting gray or silver vehicle, possible a Buick Enclave, according to a police press release issued this morning.
Suffolk County Crime Stoppers offers a cash reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest. Police ask anyone with information about this crime to call anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential, police said.
Editor’s note: A criminal charge is an accusation. By law, a person charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
