SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement are asking for the community’s help identifying a robbery suspect.
The suspect claimed to be a COX employee to gain access to a residence at the 1400 block of N. Brunswick in Wichita, where an 89-year-old resident allowed him inside, according to Wichita Police Officer Juan Rebolledo.
While inside, he stole her purse and has since been making unauthorized purchases, including at Lowe’s near Maple & Ridge.
This individual is also a suspect in a similar case being investigated by Goddard Police, where he used the same tactic to gain access to another home and steal a purse.
The suspect may be driving a silver SUV with tag 519SDF, which is expired, not registered, and belongs to a blue Buick.
If you recognize this man or have any information about him, please contact Wichita Police Department at 316-928-4407
