The morning of Saturday, April 15th was VERY lucrative for a thief travelling from parking lot to parking lot in Lake Country. Owners of unlocked vehicles parked at the Winfield Arena, Swalwell Park, Aspen Grove Golf Course and Beasley Park either had large amounts of cash, credit and debit cards plucked from wallets left in the vehicles and in one case, the thief was caught by the owner, and the whole wallet was taken. The suspect is a South Asian or Middle Eastern male in his 20s with dark facial hair, dark skin and was wearing an oversized white hoodie with an unknown black insignia or designs on it. The man may have been travelling in a silver van.
