SEATTLE — Police identified and arrested the man suspected of stealing a truck from a couple visiting Seattle earlier this month to raise money for a charity event.

Nathan Huber was identified by Q13 FOX News viewers after photos of him using stolen credit cards were aired. Huber will now face charges of vehicle and ID theft, burglary and fraud, sources said. He is being held without bail in King County jail.

“All of our firefighter gear was in the truck, but they took my wife’s computer, wallet and other electronics. They also smoked in the truck and I believe it has some damage on the back panel,” said firefighter Shawn Ellinghouse. Ellinghouse and his wife Kirsty drove to Seattle from Seeley Lake, MT to participate in the 24th Annual Scott Firefighter Stairclimb on March 8, an event where firefighters climb the Columbia Center stairs to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
