Pennsylvania State Police at Dublin are asking for the public’s help with locating a man suspected of stealing a car near Hellertown and later abandoning it in inner city Philadelphia.

In a news release Friday, police said Anthony Phillips Wolf, 44, of Telford, is wanted for the theft of a black 2017 GMC Terrain from Scenic View Lane in Springfield Township, Bucks County, on May 9.

Police said the owner of the vehicle is a 44-year-old Hellertown resident and that it was later recovered by Philadelphia Police near the intersection of B and E. Tioga streets in the city’s Kensington neighborhood.
