A man had reportedly stolen a tray of lottery tickets before fleeing the scene in a stolen silver Pontiac Grand Am.

Police say the car had been reported taken from Aldersyde the previous day.

Police believe the same man is responsible for a similar theft at the same location. On that occasion, he drove away in a stolen Ford F-350 truck which had been reported missing from Blackfalds. The truck was later recovered in Red Deer.

The suspect is tall, approximately 40 to 50 years old, and in both instances wore a baseball cap.
