Authorities Need Help to Identify a Riverside City Battery Thief

RIVERSIDE – Clear images of a battery thief, who disguises himself as a maintenance worker and his vehicle have been obtained by the Riverside Police Department. Detectives are asking for your help to identify the suspect who is believed to be responsible for multiple thefts throughout the City of Riverside.
