Credit Cards Stolen During Movie At Colonial Theatre

PHOENIXVILLE, PA — Multiple credit cards were stolen during a recent movie at the Colonial Theatre, and were then used to make thousands of dollars in purchases, police said.

The incident occurred on Tuesday, June 11 at around 10:30 p.m. A woman noticed that the cards were missing from her purse after the film.

Police guessed that the method used by the thief was a common one: the thief sits in a row behind the victims, drags the purses under the seats, takes the cards, and then replaces the purses before they're ever missed.

Surveillance footage from the theater is being reviewed. If you have any information, contact Phoenixville Police at (610) 935-2440.
