Another theft was reported Sunday in the parking lot of one of the St. Augustine outlet malls, where deputies say the possible suspect's truck was caught on surveillance cameras.
They said a Magnetic Gray 2018 Ford F150 XLT with a Florida tag (unknown number) drove around the mall parking lot and stopped next to a Honda CRV.

The truck has a soft black bed cover, and the passenger appeared to be a black male wearing an orange construction vest, deputies said.

Deputies believe the same truck was connected to the other reported catalytic converter thefts, and they're hoping you can help them find it.
