Pennsylvania State Police at Bethlehem are asking for the public’s help with identifying a man they say is wanted in connection with a reported theft in Hanover Township, Lehigh County.

In a post on the Crimewatch site for Pennsylvania Crimestoppers Monday, police said the reported theft occurred on Ulster Road at approximately 3 a.m. April 26. Ulster Road is just off Catasauqua Road south of Rt. 22, near the Allentown and Bethlehem city lines.

Police said that when troopers arrived to interview the victim of the theft, they were able to view a video of what had happened which was recorded on a Ring doorbell camera.

Police released two images of the man that were recorded by the camera.

In them he is wearing a knit hat and what appears to be a face mask hangs around his neck.

Police said that although troopers canvassed the neighborhood for additional information, “none was found.”

Anyone with information about the incident or who can identify the suspect is asked to contact Pennsylvania State Police at Bethlehem at 610-861-2026 and ask for Trooper Solanki. Tips can also be reported to Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-4PA-TIPS (8477) or online. All callers remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward.

Man Theft Face Mask

Pennsylvania Crimestoppers and Pennsylvania State Police at Bethlehem released this photo of the suspect in a theft that occurred on Ulster Road in Hanover Township, Lehigh County, early on the morning of April 26. The man appears to have a type of face mask hanging from around his neck, which would not be unusual given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the requirement that masks and face coverings be used to help prevent the spread of the disease. Anyone with information about the man’s identity is asked to contact Pennsylvania Crimestoppers or troopers at the Bethlehem barracks. Callers could be eligible for a cash reward.
