OKC Police Seek Alleged Serial Auto Burglar Targeting Women At Gas Stations

Oklahoma City police are looking for an alleged serial auto burglar targeting women at metro gas stations.

Tuesday morning, police released photos of a man suspected of being involved in at least 10 auto burglaries targeting women at local gas stations. Typically, police said the man pulls directly to the gas pumps where he gets out and opens the victim’s car door. The suspect then steals the victim’s purse off of the passenger seat while she is on the other side of the vehicle pumping gas.

The suspect completes the auto burglary within about five seconds and drives off usually before the victim even realizes the theft occurred, police said.

Many of the victims reported seeing the van driving off in a hurry and didn’t realize the suspect had stolen their purse until surveillance video was reviewed. The suspect drives a white Dodge Caravan.

Police release surveillance photos taken of the suspect at an OnCue in Bethany, after the suspect used a credit card that was taken in one of these thefts.

If you know who he is, call Crime Stoppers at (405)-235-7300, or leave a tip online. You can remain anonymous and may earn a cash reward.
