Oregon State Police is asking for help from the public regarding an investigation into the theft of a credit card which was used in Douglas and Lane counties.
A report said a trooper was contacted by a woman who was traveling with her three children on Interstate 5 on February 10th, when at approximately 11:00 a.m. she stopped at a rest area about three miles south of Harrisburg. During that stop she discovered that a credit card was missing. The trooper was able to track down images from video surveillance obtained from the stores in which a suspect used the stolen card.
The report said the suspect’s vehicle looked to be similar to a 2000 GMC pickup with what appears to be aftermarket wheels. The suspect used the stolen card at the Pilot Fuel Station and Adult Store in Rice Hill as well as the Bi-Mart and Grocery Outlet stores in Cottage Grove. There was an additional attempt at an auto parts store in Springfield, but the card was declined.
Anyone with information about the identity of the suspect is asked to contact the OSP Dispatch Center at 1-800-442-2068.
