Hey Linn County: Help Identify This Suspect and Be Eligible for a Reward

The Cedar Rapids Police are asking for the public's help identifying a subject police say was involved in two separate thefts from a local store.

On March 29 between 4:54 p.m. and 5:20 p.m., and again on April 1 between 3:57 p.m. and 5:19 p.m., a subject entered a store in the Lindale Mall area.

In both cases, police said the subject took numerous electronic games. Police said the man took the protective cover off of the games and hid them in his coat and left the store without paying. Although the subjects in the security footage have different coats and a hat, police said store employees believe it is the same individual.

The subject is a white male, 25-30 years old, 6’, 200-230 pounds with brown hair and facial hair. In the first theft, he is seen wearing a blue jacket and jeans. In the second theft, the subject is seen wearing a blue and gray jacket with an Iowa Hawkeye hat.

Attached are photos from both thefts.
