A man wanted by London police for a number of gas-and-go thefts turned himself in to police.

Police say the power of social and traditional media led to the man giving himself up Tuesday night.

According to police, the man attended the Canadian Tire Gas Bar located at 1975 Dundas Street East on Sunday around 1:25 p.m.

The man allegedly pumped fuel into his vehicle and departed without making any attempt to pay for the gas. 

Police claim he is responsible for at least six other thefts of gas in the east end London, dating back to August 2015.
