Milford Police described the suspect as “an Asian male in his late 30s” and said he was driving a blue Chevy Impala with Massachusetts plates in a statement on their Facebook page.
Police said the man lets air out from tires or contaminates gas tanks, and then approaches female drivers and says he can help out with an air compressor or battery pack or by giving a ride. The man has been described as driving a blue Chevrolet Impala with Massachusetts license plates.
