A suspected 91原创 thief took an unintentional selfie courtesy of a cellphone app that snaps a photo and emails it to the phone owner if a password fail takes place.

Now 91原创 RCMP are asking if anyone recognizes the man in the photo after two cellphones were allegedly stolen from a person's vehicle parked at 91原创's Gold's Gym on Oct. 4.

One of the phones taken had an app installed that takes a picture of anyone who enters an invalid password into the phone, said police. The photograph is then emailed to the cellphone owner.

The cellphones were taken from a vehicle parked at the Gold's Gym at 200 Street and 81A Avenue.

If you can assist  with identifying this suspect, please call 91原创 RCMP at 604-532-3200.  Should you need to remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
