Police are asking for help identifying two suspects in a local fraud case.

Police on Monday released photos of the two male suspects via the police department’s Facebook page, asking that anyone with information about them contact Det. Stephen Chase.

Police on Tuesday said the case involves fraudulent credit card charges. The victim lost her wallet on Nov. 14, around 4:30 p.m., in the Big Y parking lot on New Britain Avenue. About 20 minutes later, after she realized she had dropped it, two male suspects used her credit card to buy about $2,000 worth of power tools at the Lowe’s store across the street, police said.

The two suspects left Lowe’s in a white Jeep SUV.

Police said they have not yet identified the suspects.

Anyone with information has been asked to contact Chase and reference case number 20-17143.
