Suspects using stolen credit cards caught on security footage

Boulder police are trying to identify the male and female in the photos below. Police believe the two were using a stolen credit card to make purchases at the King Soopers store located at 1650 30^th St. in Boulder.

The credit card was among items reported stolen from a vehicle in the 2800 block of Springdale Lane on Dec. 22. The victim had parked his vehicle around 9:00 p.m. on Dec. 21. When he returned to the vehicle the next morning, he found that the vehicle’s passenger window had been smashed. The suspect or suspects took the credit card, electronics and cash.

Police are looking for the male and female captured on security video from King Soopers. Both suspects are white. The male was wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, a white baseball cap and was carrying a red backpack. The female was wearing a white jacket, a hat with earflaps and  sunglasses.

The case number is 11-16505.

Also, during the overnight hours of Dec. 27, there was a series of vehicle trespasses in which windows were smashed and items stolen from a number of vehicles in the Boulder area. Investigators haven’t determined whether the cases from last night are related to the case from Dec. 21.

To keep your valuables safe, police offer these safety tips:

§  Always lock your car

§  Park in well-lit areas

§  Don’t leave any valuables in the car – take your cell phone, laptop, camera, iPod and cash/credit cards, etc. with you

§  The trunk isn’t always safe; thieves often smash windows, enter the vehicle and pop the trunk
