Police are looking for two suspects caught on camera purchasing electronics with a stolen credit card.

Det. Lt. Ron Zellers said a male and a female started their crime spree on March 3 by stealing a wallet from a business in Feldarelli Square along Freeport Road shortly after 11 a.m.

The pair then stopped at a gas station, paying with a credit card from the wallet.

"They knew what they were doing," Zellers said.

They used the card to buy a 27-inch Sony television from the Sears store in the Natrona Heights section of Harrison and Gameboy video games at the Sears Grand at the Pittsburgh Mills mall in Frazer, Zellers said.

The value for the items totalled $700.

The female was described as mid-thirties, about 130 pounds, 5 feet 6 inches tall with light brown hair and green eyes. The male was described as medium build, about 5 foot 10 inches with short hair.

Both suspects are wearing baseball hats in the surveillance video from Sears Grand.

Anyone with information about this crime or the two individuals is asked to call the New Kensington police at 724-339-7533.
