CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Charleston Police are trying to identify the person or people caught on surveillance video using a stolen credit card.
According to a news release, the victim found the passenger side window of her car busted out and her purse gone on February 4 around 9:45 p.m.
The victim told police that her purse contained a cell phone, iPod, Bank of America MasterCard, two employee ID cards, driver's license and her social security card.
Charleston Police Detectives tell WSAZ.com a man walked into a business around 8:30 p.m. that same day and used the woman's credit card to make a $116.57 purchase. The man was caught on surveillance camera using the card. The man was wearing a black jacket with a hood, blue jeans and brown boots.
Then, just a few minutes later at a nearby business a man wearing similar clothing used the stolen credit card to make a $127.12 purchase. This time the video was able to show more of a description of the man.
The man was wearing the same black jacket with a hood, blue jeans, but white tennis shoes instead of the boots. He also has a receding hairline (partially grey) with a mustache and beard.
Police believe the man is in his late 30s or 40s.
If you have any information about either one of these incidents, you're urged to call Detective M. Kinder at the Charleston Police Department (Criminal Investigation Division) at 304-348-6480.

Its obvious by the position of the camera that this business is only interested in video taping employee theft. There is no other reason for the camera to be at this angle. This business has no concerns for their employee's safety, only their money. Why anyone does business there is beyond me. A decent business would have, in addition to the camera we see being used, another one, at eye level of the patrons standing before the employee. A camera like that is looking out for employee safety. Of course, I hope they catch the credit card stealing scum. But it sure would be nice if the business owner was a little more concerned about their employees.
I feel that whenever you get a credit or debit card, your picture should be put on the card to prevent someone else from using it. why don't the banks do this? do they prefer spending all that money to replace fraudulent card charges? seems to me that a 5.00 picture would be cheaper than having to replace a customers 300.00 loss.
Why are you leaving your purse in the car where it can be seen? Next time just walk up to someone and hand it to them...duh. Some people really are nuts.
