Sonoma County sheriff’s investigators were looking for a suspected vehicle thief and a missing brown Nissan Pathfinder taken from a Bodega Bay hotel.

Officials released the photograph of a man caught on video prowling the grounds of the Tides Hotel in Bodega Bay about 1:30 p.m. Sunday. He’s shown wearing a white T-shirt, open red button-down shirt and a backward baseball cap.

Authorities believe he took the Nissan, which belongs to an employee of the hotel, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

The Nissan’s license plate is 5WZN878. Anyone with information about the case can call sheriff’s dispatch at 707-565-2121.
