(WOODLAND PARK, Colo.) — The Woodland Park Police Department (WPPD) is asking for the community’s help in finding a suspect who allegedly picked up a lost “fanny pack” style bag from a parking lot before suspicious fraudulent charges showed up on the victim’s account on Monday, April 21.
According to WPPD, around 10:15 a.m., a person dropped the fanny pack in the Walmart parking lot at 19600 Highway 24, on the south side of Woodland Park. The pack contained a driver’s license, bank card, credit card, and other items.
WPPD reported that around two minutes after the bag was dropped, surveillance cameras captured an unidentified man who picked up the bag from the parking lot and walked inside Walmart, across the front of the store, and into the bathroom. When he exited, he no longer had the pack in his hand.
According to WPPD, later in the day, the victim began receiving fraud alerts from their bank, reporting suspicious activity.
WPPD is asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect, who is described as a white man in his 30s with long brown hair worn in a half-bun style and a beard. He was wearing sunglasses, a white t-shirt, a necklace, blue jeans, tennis shoes, and a watch on his left wrist. He appeared to have tattoos on his forearm, and was driving an older model silver SUV or truck.
If anyone has any information, they are asked to contact Officer R. Johnson at (719) 967-0435, and the caller may remain anonymous.
