Kawartha Lakes police are looking for a suspect in a theft of power tools from a Lindsay business on Monday (March 22).

After employees at the Lindsay Street South business found empty boxes for Bosch power tools in store aisles, they reviewed video surveillance and observed a man remove a drill driver and an angle grinder from the boxes and conceal them under his jacket.

The man then left the store without paying for the items and fled in a vehicle (photos below). The licence plate of the vehicle is not visible in video surveillance.
