Cops search for alleged Bottle-o thief

Investigators are appealing to the man, or anyone who recognises him, to contact police.

Police are appealing for public assistance to identify a man who may be able to assist them with their investigations into thefts from bottle shops on the Sunshine Coast.

During May and June 2024, and August 2023, three bottle shop businesses in Buderim, Maroochydore and Bli Bli reported a man stealing several bottles of alcohol on 13 occasions.

Police believe the man may be from overseas as he is known to use an international bank card.

He has also been seen driving at least two different cars with false Victorian number plates.
