Austin PD Seeks Help Identifying Car Thief | Texas News

Austin PD is urgently seeking the public’s help to identify a suspect who fled on foot after a high-speed chase involving a stolen vehicle last Thursday morning. Officers spotted the car around 8:20 AM on South I-35, attempted a stop, and the driver sped off—eventually ditching the car and running into nearby neighborhoods. Despite a K9 unit and perimeter search, the suspect escaped. Described as a white or Hispanic male, 35–45, slender, with a thin beard and a tattoo on his right forearm, he’s now wanted for auto theft. Authorities are offering up to $1,000 for tips leading to an arrest—and urge anyone with information, even anonymously through Crime Stoppers, to come forward.
