Thief Stole, Then Used Credit Cards: Bloomfield Twp. Police

Bloomfield Township, MI — A Bloomfield Township resident’s credit cards were used at several local businesses the same night they were stolen from unlocked vehicles Monday, police said.

The cards and other personal items were left in unlocked vehicles parked in his driveway on the 1800 block of Canterbury Court, according to a report from the Bloomfield Township Police Department.

A neighbor who lives across the street from the victim told police that her car had also been gone through after she forgot to lock it. The only thing missing in that case was a medical bag.
