The Chilliwack RCMP are looking for the public’s help to identify a man who was caught on the camera of a bait car.
The shot was taken just after 3 a.m. on Feb. 5.
A man had triggered the alarm and the surveillance camera of a bait car that was parked near Spadina Avenue.
Police immediately started patrolling the area but they couldn’t find their suspect.
“Police park bait cars containing bait property in areas identified as high risk for auto crime,” Chilliwack RCMP Cpl. Jay Schofield said in a statement.
