Police: Two Women Stole Checks, Credit Card from Victim

Arlington police say two women stole a checkbook and credit card from a woman at a Crystal City store and used it to make hundreds of dollars worth of purchases.

"They are still at large," said Dustin Sternbeck, spokesman for the Arlington County Police Department.

Photos of the women were distributed by the Arlington County Police Department’s burglary/larceny unit Tuesday. The photo shows the women at a store in Alexandria, about to use one of the stolen checks.

According to authorities, the cards were stolen from a woman's purse as she ate at the store on February 14 on the 1600 block of South Crystal Drive. The cards and checks were subsequently used to make fraudulent purchases at various stores, according to police. 

Anyone who has information on the identities and/or whereabouts of these individuals is asked to contact Detective James Stone at 703-228-4245 or at jstone@arlingtonva.us. To report information anonymously, contact the Arlington County Crime Solvers at 866-411-TIPS (8477).
