FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – Flight detectives from the Fort Worth Police Department want help identifying a car theft suspect caught in a surveillance video of a QuikTrip before the crime.
Police described the car thief as a white man in his twenties, five feet six inches to five feet, 10 inches tall, weighing 160 to 170 pounds with long, wavy hair (above his neck).
He is one of two suspects who were reported by police who kidnapped a guy who had lured from QuikTrip to South Freeway and W. Everguy Parkway on the grounds that he needed to convert a flat tire.
