Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery is seeking the public help in locating an unidentified may suspected of a motor vehicle theft Saturday afternoon in Baxter County. The sheriff says the Caucasian male is also suspected of using the victim’s credit/debit cards which were inside the stolen vehicle.
According to the sheriff, after taking the vehicle, the suspect purchased fuel at a gas station on the Sheid/Hopper Bypass and Buzzard Roost Road. He then went to the Mountain Home WalMart to make another purchase, where he was photographed on security cameras.
When the owner of the stolen vehicle discovered it was missing, he called the sheriff’s office and the vehicle, which was equipped with the OnStar system, was remotely disabled in the Walmart parking lot. When the suspect returned to the vehicle and found it disabled, he left the scene on foot.
Anyone with information as to the identity and location of the suspect is asked to call the Baxter County Sheriff at 425-7000.
