SOUTH SALT LAKE — A man suspected of stealing a charity donation jar from a motorcycle shop turned himself in to police after surveillance video of the theft was posted on YouTube.com.

On March 24, a man walked into Wright's Motorcycle Shop, 3474 S. State, and stole a jar filled with donations for an annual Shriner's Hospital benefit, according to a statement from South Salt Lake police.

The theft was reported to police, but the store's owner, Tim Gallagher, also posted the surveillance footage on www.youtube.com. This week, an anonymous person called police and identified the suspect. Before police made an arrest, the man turned himself in.

The 21-year-old man was arrested for theft and issued a misdemeanor citation, police said.

Officers are still looking for a 21-year-old woman considered a person of interest in the case. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 840-4000.
