Police Seek Identity of Man Who Used Stolen Credit Cards

LONGVIEW — Longview police are seeking the public’s help as they continue working a stolen credit card case from this past spring. On April 23 at 4:16 p.m., police received a report of a vehicle burglary that occurred in the 3000 Block of Good Shepherd Way. The victim told police that on April 22 between 2-3 p.m. someone had entered his vehicle and removed several credit cards from his wallet. The victim’s credit cards were used at various locations on that same date.

The suspect is believed to be of Hispanic, Asian, or Middle Eastern descent, with black hair, approximately 35-40 years of age, and with an athletic build. The suspect was wearing sunglasses, a long-sleeved button-up shirt, with a white undershirt, and light-colored slacks. Video was obtained at one of the stores where the cards were used. When the suspect left the store, he was seen entering a dark colored, late model four-door Chevrolet Silverado pickup. The driver of the vehicle, who accompanied the suspect inside the store, is described as a younger male with a thin build and may be possibly of Hispanic, Middle Eastern, or Asian descent.

Anyone who has information regarding the identity of the card user is asked to contact Detective Melissa Dobbs at 903-237-1199. If the tipster wishes to remain anonymous he or she can also contact Gregg County Crimestoppers at http://www.greggcountycrimestoppers.org or 903-236-STOP (7867).
