The Oakland County Sheriff’s Department is asking for help identifying a man recorded on surveillance tapes using credit cards at the Oxford Meijer belonging to a 73-year-old Lake Orion woman.
The man is wanted for questioning regarding two purchases totalling more than $750 made with the woman’s missing credit cards.
On Nov. 15, a Lake Orion woman left her purse containing the credit cards in a shopping cart at the Kroger on Lapeer Road in Lake Orion.
Within hours, more than $335 were charged to the woman’s Master Card and another $417 was charged to her American Express.
Surveillance cameras captured the image of a man with a shaved head, wearing blue jeans and a blue sweat shirt using one of the credit cards Nov. 15 to make a $335 purchase through a self-serve check-out at the Oxford Meijer.
An alert American Express Card representative later informed the woman that a $417 purchase was made with her card at the Shell station in Oxford.
Oakland County Sheriff Detective John Robertson is questioning employees at both Meijer and the Shell station.
Detective Robertson asks if anyone recognizes the man in the video, please immediately contact him at the Oakland County Sheriff’s Oxford substation at (248) 969-0369.
