Police detectives need the public’s help to identify the individual in the
attached photo, who is suspected of using stolen credit cards to make
fraudulent purchases.
On
Wednesday, October 23, an officer responded to the 00 block of S
Crenshaw Avenue for the report of a theft from motor vehicle. An
unknown suspect smashed out the front passenger side window of the victim’s car
and stole the victim’s purse, which was placed under a sweater on the front
passenger seat. The purse contained credit cards.
Shortly
after, the victim began receiving information that a fraudulent transaction had
taken place. Detectives traced those transactions back to a Food Lion in
the Richmond area, where the suspect was seen on security video.
The
suspect was then seen walking to the parking lot and driving off in a red Ford
Ecosport.
