NOBLESVILLE — Authorities from four Hoosier counties, including Putnam, are looking for a young man sought in connection with a rash of thefts from vehicles the week of Aug. 24.

Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who is a suspect in thefts that occurred in Putnam, Hamilton, Boone and Madison counties.

According to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department, the suspect is described as a white male in his late teens or 20s.

Several of the thefts reportedly involved vehicles parked at Walmart stores.

The suspect’s vehicle is said to be a 2003-06 Honda Element. The car reportedly has a stolen “In God We Trust” Indiana license plate from Anderson.

Hamilton County authorities also said the Honda Element has a distinctive American flag banner across the rear window and was last known to have yellow duct tape wrapped around the driver’s side mirror.

Authorities said the suspect vehicle was last seen traveling west on Interstate 70 in Loma, Colo.
