Surveillance cameras captured two men attempting to use credit cards stolen from a women’s purse inside a popular Center City bar.
One of the men swiped the woman’s wallet as the 37-year-old patronized U-Bahn at 1320 Chestnut Street around 6:15 on April 23, said Philadelphia Police.
Multiple surveillance cameras captured the thief’s tracks – first showing him outside U-Bahn before entering the bar. Later in the same day, the same man is seen attempting to use the woman’s credit cards at various locations along Aramingo Avenue in Port Richmond.
The man and a friend drove in a burgundy minivan as they tried to use the cards at various locations – sometimes the accomplice also trying to use the stolen cards, said police.
Police described the bar thief as being in his early 30s with a light mustache and medium build. His accomplice is in his late 30 or early 40s with a heavy build, light beard and glasses.
