Police in Salem, New Hampshire, are asking for the public's help in identifying a lottery ticket thief, who donned a Cookie Monster hat.
On Jan. 5 around 9:15 p.m., he stole an entire rack of lottery tickets from Klemm's Mobil, located at the intersection of Pleasant and South Policy Streets.
Approximately an hour later, he cashed in a large amount of winning tickets at a store in Pelham.
Shortly after midnight, he was back in Salem, again trying to cash in winning tickets at a store.
Both the suspect and his vehicle were captured on video at several locations.
Detectives believe he may live in Massachusetts, but work in the Greater Salem area.
