Ascension Parish Sheriff Jeff Wiley is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect responsible for stealing rims and tires from a local car dealership on Airline Highway in Gonzales.

In the surveillance video, the white male was observed stealing rim and tires off of a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 truck that was parked in the sales lot. The suspect is then seen exiting the parking lot with the rims and tires in the bed of his truck.
