WOODINVILLE, WA – The Woodinville Police Department hoping the public can aid with an identification today released a surveillance image of a suspect, possibly involved in the theft of a wallet and fraudulent use of credit cards.

Officers said a woman Thursday was eating lunch at a local restaurant when her wallet was stolen from her purse. The victim did not realize her billfold was swiped, however, until about an hour later she received a call from her credit card company inquiring if she were attempting to purchase $1,000 of goods from Target, police said.

"The photograph ... is one of the suspect attempting to use the stolen cards," the department said.
