Irvine police trying to identify man who charged over $4K on stolen credit cards – New Santa Ana –

The Irvine Police Department is trying to identify a man who was caught on surveillance video charging more than $4,000 in Visa gift cards using stolen credit cards.

The credit cards were taken from the victim’s wallet, which was in the center console of his unlocked car.

The suspect was wearing a black Coach t-shirt, black shorts and white and black tennis shoes. He had an Edgar style haircut, white ears, glasses, a mustache and a goatee. He had a light complexion of indeterminate race and a thin build. He looks pretty proud of himself in the surveillance footage.

If you can identify this person, please contact Detective Robinson at 949-724-7432 or email him at [email protected].
