STONY BROOK-WABC Police say in the last two years, the thief - who has been
caught on surveillance cameras - has burglarized eight buildings at
the University, stealing over 20 credit cards and charging more
than $25,000 in Suffolk County, Nassau County and Queens. The
subject who appears well dressed in the surveillance photos has
purchased clothes, Long Island Rail Road tickets and gift cards at
Target.
Suffolk County Police say the subject enters unoccupied offices
at the University and steals a credit card from a women's purse
then leaves. The victims don't even know that the card is gone
until the next time they try to use it.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at
1-800-220-TIPS. A $5,000 reward is being offered for information
that leads to an arrest.
