Investigators Thursday issued surveillance stills, hoping to jog the memory of an acquaintance, or of anyone who recognizes the tattoo on his right lower leg, the hoodie with a skull emblazoned on the back, or the light-colored sedan.

The service station is near Lakewood, on Route 9 South at Ford Road. The only clear description police have is of a white male.

On April 30, at about 2:30 AM. he broke the gas station's office window, made off with cigarettes, ran to the car in the nearby Golden Farmer's Market lot, and sped south on Route 9, police said.

Just about a month later, on May 28, he smashed the office window again, but scurried off empty-handed when an alarm sounded.

Police say that every piece of information from citiens is analyzed, and the results help to solve countless crimes.
