Lake Country Mounties are looking to identify a man connected to a car theft and fraud.

Sometime overnight on Aug. 31, a 2008 white Subaru was stolen from a residence in the Springfield Road area in Kelowna.

Then, just before 5 a.m. Sept. 1, RCMP said an unknown man was driving the stolen vehicle when he attended two gas stations in Lake Country and used a stolen credit card to purchase gas.

“The Subaru was recovered a short time later, near a residence on Hein Road in Kelowna,” RCMP said in a press release.

The suspect was wearing a grey long-sleeve shirt, jeans, two long chain necklaces, a black mask and an orange glove on his left hand, said Cpl. Tammy Lobb, watch commander for Lake Country RCMP.
