Police Seek Identity of Suspect in Fitness Center Auto Break-in

Bloomfield Township police are looking for help from the public to identify a man believed to have used a stolen credit card shortly after it was taken from a vehicle parked outside a local fitness center last month. 

Officers responded to the Bally’s Total Fitness when a patron reported discovering their vehicle damaged just before 8 p.m. July 15, reports said. The passenger side window was completely smashed in and a purse containing cash and credit cards were taken. The theft occurred sometime between 6:15-7:50 p.m. Investigators learned one of the cards was used at a Meijer store in Southfield shortly after the theft and then again at a different Meijer location, a news release stated.

Police are also investigating a larceny from a vehicle that was parked outside a home in the 300 block of N. Willamsbury Street overnight on Aug. 6, reports said. The vehicle was parked in the street and unlocked. A laptop was taken.

No suspect information was available and it is unclear if it is related to the fitness center incident.

Authorities reiterate the importance of locking vehicle doors and removing all valuables from inside whenever possible.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the department’s investigations division at 248-433-7752.
