Montgomery County Police are trying to catch the people who used a stolen credit card to rack up more than $4,000 worth of purchases—including a puppy.
The credit card was stolen in August, but on Friday—with the hope of catching the crooks—police released a video of the male and female they think were involved.
Police said thieves—a male and female—broke into a 60-year-old woman’s car as she attended St. Jane Frances de Chantel Catholic Church in Bethesda on Aug. 11.
