Another wallet thief and another trail of evidence caught on tape. Police need your help to catch a man accused of using someone else's bank card.

The Charleston Police Department has named the man pictured below, with the Cleveland Cavs Lebron James jersey, one of Charleston's Most Wanted.

The pictures are from the Exxon on Kanawha Boulevard on the west side. Detectives say the credit card the man pictured used to buy gas was stolen from a locker at the Charleston YMCA. That happened on June 27th.

Police say the suspect has gone on a spending spree in Charleston and South Charleston. Surveillance cameras also captured the suspect's car: an older model Cadillac Sedan (see picture below).

Detectives tell us the suspect pictured was actually a passenger in the car. They say he was riding with a man who was wearing a white t-shirt.

Call Detective Autumn Davis at (304) 348-6480 if you have any information about this case.

The very day that that poor guy's bankcard was stolen, he stopped in the Capital OneStop for gas and a sport drink. He was pretty torn up when he couldn't find it, and was headed straight back to look for it. The thing is, this is by no means an isolated incident. That, and the fact that these thefts occurred in the YoungMens/Young Womens Christian Association facilities, A highly respected charitable service organization, is pretty much the same as stealing from the Salvation Army or similar religion based service. The police undoubtedly investigate all fraud/theft cases the same. It just happened that they got a break and made an an arrest in one; so the comment by 'Todd', which implies preferential treatment for 'very important persons', further implies that there are still those in our society who believe that "the MAN is trying to keep them down." The police are far too busy dealing with the sheer number of these types of crimes,which often go unsolved, to pick/choose which to work
