SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Police need your help to identify and catch a man they say drained someone else's bank account to fill his gas tank.

The South Charleston Police Department has named the man in the pictures below one of Charleston's Most Wanted.

The surveillance pictures are from the Speedway in Cross Lanes where police say the suspect filled up. Detectives say he also used the card at the Kroger fuel stations in South Charleston and St. Albans.

Police say the suspect's vehicle is a red pickup truck --- a late eighties model Ford pickup.

Call Detective P.C. Rader at (304) 744-5951 if you have any information about him.

I am sure if he drained YOUR bank account, you would want him on the most wanted list.

FOLKS! Stop buying from CHINA! Look at everything you pick up,it's from China! Buy USA products and then they won't have so much money to need that gas over there!

You got to expect this type of thing when gas is $3.65/gallon. It is wrong to steal of course, but not unexpected.

Where is the Kroger Fuel Station is St. Albans? I must have missed that on my drive through there recently!

Can't say I haven't thought about it many times since the gas prices have gone up. Won't do it, but have thought about it...

the suspect is from st albans,near spurce st,seen him at the go-mart -gas fill suspect

It is unfortunate that it has come to this. We will be seeing more problems of this kind due to the high gas prices and higher grocery prices, I have also been a victim with gas being stolen out of two of my vehicles sitting in my own driveway. I have heard several people say they have had the same problems in other towns. Oil companies make plenty of money, the least they could do is lower the price so it is reasonably affordable for common everyday people. I think they would figure out that they will still make plenty of money. It is just another case of greed with them. Everyone should boycott for a day and not go anywhere, or buy anything and just sit at home and enjoy some family time. This man deserves to be punished, identity theft ruins peoples lives.

I saw this truck at Lowe's today (no joke)

This is going to happen more often with fuel @ 3.45 a gallon. People are going to struggle to buy gas and resort to crime just to get fuel for their vehicles.

I agree w/ Anonymous on Apr 4, 2008 at 07:06 AM. Of course, this is a crime and the offender should be punished,but MOST WANTED???? Well, if that's all a city has for a "Most Wanted" then we would have a lot less heartache around here. Lets get the murderers & drugs off the streets!

DONT KNOW HIM?

Posted by: Beth on Apr 4, 2008 at 10:06 AM
I hope he gets caught and does some major jail time, although I think life without parole is a bit much. Also for anonymous that posted at 7:06 am, if this was your credit card he was using, you wouldnt feel that way.

I hope they catch this guy and he gets life without parole. That's what all identity thieves deserve!!
