Police are seeking to identify a suspect accused of using bank cards stolen from a vehicle in Barrie.

According to Barrie police, on Friday, a victim returned to a vehicle parked outside of a business on Cundles Street East to find a window had been smashed and personal items, including bank cards, had been stolen.

Police say once the victim noticed the bank cards had been taken, the victim contacted a financial institution to cancel the cards, yet learned the cards had already been used at various stores throughout the city.

Officers are now searching for a male suspect, in his 40s or 50s, with brown hair. Police say he was seen wearing a black hoodie with a Deadpool logo, black track pants with a Blue Jays logo, a black and grey hat and black and white running shoes.
