The Chatham-Kent Police Service is asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect involved in a theft of gasoline at the ESSO Gas Station located at 3613 Queens Line in Tilbury on September 1, 2025, at approximately 07:00 hrs.
A blue 2008 Ford Ranger was observed fueling up and then leaving without making any payment. The male driver, possibly in his mid-30s, was wearing a brown coat, black shorts, and flip-flops, and a brown dog was seen inside the vehicle. The truck featured distinctive markings, including a horizontal aftermarket red lighting on the rear bumper, white spotlights mounted under each taillight, large “HD” stickers affixed to both upper corners of the rear windshield, a large yellow tote and a jerry can in the truck bed, and an Oakley sticker on the lower left corner of the rear windshield.
A query on the license plate did not produce identification. Anyone with information regarding this incident or the suspect’s identity is encouraged to contact Constable Cole Brigley at coleb@chatham-kent.ca or Chatham-Kent Police Service at 519-352-1234. You can provide information anonymously by submitting a tip through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
