TIMES SQUARE — Police are looking for a thief who charged $144 to a credit card that went missing from a straphanger's stroller, the NYPD said.

The 30-year-old victim was riding a northbound N train from Union Square around 11:05 p.m. on Sunday before getting off at the 49th Street station near Seventh Avenue, police said.

When she reached her apartment building, the victim realized a bag she’d placed under the bottom of the stroller she’d been pushing was missing, the NYPD said.

Surveillance cameras inside a Skechers shoe store at 1515 Broadway, between West 44th and 45th streets, captured a blonde woman charging $144 to the woman’s stolen Chase credit card, police said.

The thief was last seen carrying a black purse and wearing a red dress, sunglasses and sandals, the NYPD said.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
