MCSO seeks suspect after theft of 12 golf carts in Hansen and Lincoln parks

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) is seeking the public's help in locating a person of interest in recent golf car thefts in Milwaukee County.

Officials say eight golf carts were stolen from Hansen Park on June 11, and four golf carts were stolen from Lincoln Park on July 8. 

The four carts stolen from Lincoln Park were abandoned during a pursuit and recovered, along with a 20-foot Aluma trailer reported stolen from DeForest, MCSO says.

MCSO says camera footage was recovered following the July 8 incident. The person of interest is a gray-haired white man operating a tan or gold Chevrolet Tahoe. The vehicle has been linked to similar investigations in other jurisdictions. Officials say a private golf company recently reported the theft of a 30-foot trailer that can carry eight golf carts.

MCSO is asking anyone with information to call Milwaukee County Dispatch at (414) 278-4788.
