Police Need Help Identifying Suspect Who Allegedly Stole Car in Richland
Police are asking for help from the public identifying the suspect in a car theft that took place in Oswego County last month.
The New York State Police says that the suspect was allegedly involved in illegally taking a car from the R&R 1 Stop Gas and Grocery store located at 7356 State Route 3 in Richland, New York at approximately 4:30pm on Friday, May 27, 2022.
In a written release the NYSP says that surveillance video captures the suspect being dropped off in a blue car which they believe may be a Toyota Prius. The suspect then, according to police, "immediately entered a Gray 2006 Volkswagen Jetta which was left running with the keys inside."
