Pilfered plastic: Cops seek three in Park Slope credit card theft
NYPD

Cops are hunting for three people wanted in connection with an illicit spending spree carried out with credit cards nabbed off a Park Slope woman.

The victim told police somebody bumped into her as she stepped off an R train at the Union Street subway station near Fourth Avenue on March 12 at 9:45 p.m., and only later noticed that her wallet — containing her credit cards and driver’s license — had been pilfered.

On Monday, cops shared surveillance images taken from a Park Slope convenience store, where two men and a woman, all between the ages of 25 and 35, were spotted making purchases with the victim’s cards, according to police, who noted nearly $800 in charges had been racked up on the cards at numerous locations.

Wanted for questioning: Cops are looking to question this man about the Park Slope pickpocketing incident that occured this month.
