OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – Oshkosh police are searching for two suspects who allegedly stole a car and then tried using the victim’s credit cards.
On Sunday around 10:30 p.m., officers say a woman parked her 2007 gold Toyota Prius Hybrid in her driveway. She didn’t lock her doors and left her purse inside the car.
Authorities say the car was stolen sometime before 6:05 a.m. Monday. The suspects were able to get the key inside her purse.
Police say at 6:07 a.m. the car was caught on video surveillance pulling up to the ATM at the Verve Credit Union on Witzel Avenue. The suspect driving the car tried using one of the credit cards in the stolen purse, but could not get cash out of the ATM.
Then both suspects were seen on video surveillance in the Walmart store in Neenah at 7:15 a.m. They tried using one of the stolen credit cards to buy several items. The credit card by this point had already been canceled by the victim and the suspects weren’t able to use it.
The first suspect is described as a black man, 20 to 30-years-old, wearing a black coat with light colored jeans and a green and white stocking cap with a tassel on top.
The second suspect is described as a black woman, 20 to 30-years-old, wearing a red hoodie with black or grey sleeves and multicolored leggings.
Videos of the suspects are posted on the Oshkosh Police Department’s Facebook page.
The vehicle, with Wisconsin license plate number 401-XUL, has not been recovered.
