1​K Cars Targeted By Same Suspect In Bucks Co. Crime Spree: DA

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Authorities in Bucks County are trying to identify a person who has unlawfully entered 1,000 cars over the past year, stealing everything from vehicle registration and insurance cards to credit cards, loose change, and sunglasses.

The year-long crime spree has included "just about every municipality" in the mid-upper to mid-lower parts of the county, spanning from from Hilltown Township to Yardley, according to the Bucks County District Attorney.

So far, only unlocked vehicles have been targeted.

According to the District Attorney, the suspect has been captured on surveillance video entering cars as far back as September 2019. Authorities began to notice the videos depicted similarities: the suspect was wearing the similar clothing, carried the same bag, and had a distinct walk.

The suspect typically wears a black sweat suit, a dark-colored gaiter mask, gloves, and white and orange Nike sneakers, police said.

The person is also known to wear a satchel-style shoulder bag, which is used to stash the stolen goods. Surveillance video shows the person fleeing the scene "with a distinct style of walking and running," the District Attorney said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact their local police department or Buckingham Township Detective Timothy Johnson 215-794-8812, ext. 246 or by email at tjohnson@buckinghampa.org.
