At around 10 a.m. Tuesday, a man approached a downtown car dealership and asked to take a used truck for a test drive, police said. The car salesman accompanied the suspect, who stopped at a bank near 111th Avenue and Groat Road and said he wanted to withdraw cash to pay for the vehicle.
While the salesman waited in the car, the suspect slipped a note to a bank teller demanding cash, police said. He got the cash then drove away with the salesman, saying he wanted to show the truck to a friend before buying it.
When the suspect stopped and got out at a gas station near the Lakeland Trailer Park, the concerned salesman took the truck's keys and called 911.
Police said the suspect then realized he was under suspicion and ran away.
Police are looking for 40-year-old Marcel Perrot, described as Metis, six-foot-one and 230 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes.
