Two Suspects Sought for Stealing Purse at Dog Park, Using Card Immediately

On September 16, 2013 at approximately 12:21, an unknown suspect broke into a vehicle that was parked at the Fayetteville Dog Park on Eastern Blvd. and stole a purse from the front seat of the vehicle. The suspects were observed fleeing the area in a dark in color small Sports Utility Vehicle.

Approximately 45 minutes after the breaking and entering occurred, two females attempted to complete a transaction at a local retail store with a financial card contained in the stolen purse. The transaction was declined and the suspects were caught on video surveillance as they exited the business.
