San Diego County Crime Stoppers and San Diego Police Department’s Northwestern Division are looking for suspects involved in multiple vehicle burglaries, which have led to significant credit card fraud. According to information released by San Diego County Crime Stoppers, the burglaries occurred on November 11 at the Veteran’s Cemetery on Noble Drive.

The cunning crooks managed to quickly steal belongings and purses from three vehicles, subsequently racking up approximately $3,500 in fraudulent charges.

The authorities are asking the public to help to identify and track down the culprits.

There's an incentive on the table – a reward of up to $1,000 for tips that result in the suspects’ apprehension.

Those with any leads are urged to call the police or drop a tip anonymously through the Crime Stoppers tip line. For additional details or to learn how to submit an anonymous online tip, citizens must visit the Crime Stoppers website.
