The Muskingum County Sheriff’s Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying a suspect who stole from an area child.

According to Deputy Brice Swiney, on Thursday, July 8 at around 11 a.m. the man trespassed onto the front yard of a property along Boggs Road in the Lectric Lane Area.

Surveillance footage shows the man arriving in a white Chevy or GMC crew cab, 4-door pickup truck.

Further video shows the man walking around the outside of the home before he ultimately steals a child’s pink battery-powered dirt bike from the front yard.

The suspect is considered by deputies to be roughly 25 to 35 years old.

He is estimated to be between 5 feet 5 inches to 6 feet tall and somewhere around 180 to 220 pounds.

Tattoos can be seen on both his arms in the bicep area.
