In an unexpected turn of events, the Oklahoma City Police Department is reaching out to the public to aid in apprehending a suspect involved in a theft at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds.

The incident occurred on Saturday, just days ahead of the fair, which marks the commencement of the "Disney on Ice: Magic in the Stars" performances at Jim Norick Arena running through Monday. Oklahoma City Police have released video footage capturing the suspect in the act of removing wigs from mannequin heads and stashing them into a backpack before exiting the area.
