On July 9, a man lost his wallet inside the Telco Store at 1377 Forest Ave. around 5:30 p.m., according to the NYPD.
The victim later found out that a suspect picked up the wallet and used the debit and credit cards inside to make purchases in various stores around the borough, including the Lowe's at 2171 Forest Ave., that night and the next day, police said.
