GREENWOOD, DELAWARE (5/23/2015) Delaware State Police have released surveillance photos of a suspect in the theft of a wallet east of Greenwood and are asking for the public’s help to identify him.
The wallet was reported stolen earlier this month by a 62-year-old man working at a job site near Judy Road and Beach Highway (Route 16).
The victim didn’t discover it was missing for a couple of days, police said, and notified his credit-card company and Social Security.
He was then informed the card had been used for two transactions and his Social Security card had been used by someone attempting to buy a vehicle.
Police did not disclose the location the surveillance photos were taken but they are time-stamped 6:37 p.m. on May 9.
The suspect was described as a while male, about 5-feet-8 with brown hair and a large tattoo on the inside of his left forearm. He was wearing a black, white and red striped shirt, black and white baseball hat, blue jean shorts and high-top sneakers.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper Logue at 302-232-3466.
