The Irvine Police are trying to identify a man who stole a purse from a car at a gas station

On the morning of February 9, a male suspect entered a victim’s unlocked vehicle at a gas station located at Irvine Blvd. and Sand Canyon and took her purse, according to the Irvine Police Department.

The suspect got into the passenger seat of a Mazda SUV and left.

The suspect has a high forehead and is combing his hair forward in an attempt to hide an apparently receding hairline. He has a wispy mustache as well. He was wearing a white t-shirt at the time of the purse snatching.

The suspect resembles the Marvel Comics villain, the Leader, who often has tangled with the Hulk:
