Man sought over Wonga Beach vehicle theft
Police are seeking assistance from the public to assist in locating a 20-year-old man who is believed to be driving a vehicle stolen from a Wonga Beach caravan park yesterday.

The keys were then used to steal the owner’s vehicle.
The stolen vehicle (pictured) is described as being a 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser utility.
The vehicle is grey in colour and when stolen was bearing South Australia registration XPJ 214. It also has a full canopy fitted to the rear tray.
