Police are looking for a man they’ve dubbed “Mr. Fill n’ Fly”, wanted in a string of gas thefts across Southern Ontario. Halton Police say he’s wanted for at least 20 gas thefts dating back to October in Milton, Oakville, Burlington, Haldimand County and even into York Region.

Halton Police say the man has used at least two different vehicles; a black Jeep Grand Cherokee and an older model blue GMC Safari.  He is also using three license plates stolen from Burlington and Hamilton to these vehicles, including BVYZ793, BDXT007 and BCFC942.
