Police in Fredericton are trying to put a name to a face - specifically, the face of a man who fled a roadside stop in the capital late last month.

The Fredericton Police Force issued a news release Monday about an incident that occurred in the last week of November, and it released photos of a suspect in the matter.

The police force captured images of the driver’s face and vehicle, and it’s hoping members of the public can help in identifying him.
