NEW YORK CITY — Thieves used stolen credit card information to buy two Rolex watches worth nearly $19,000 as part of a $30,000 spending spree, the NYPD said.
Police are looking for a man and a woman captured on surveillance footage making purchases with the information stolen from a 34-year-old Greenpoint woman in late November, police said.
On Nov. 22, a woman with dark hair, glasses and a tan jacket went into the Tourneau shop at 12 E. 57th St. between 6 and 6:30 p.m. and bought the two Rolex watches for a total of $18,889, police said.
About a week later, on Nov. 30, a man wearing a gray sweater and a baseball cap tried to use the same credit card info to make a $10,000 purchase at Saks Fifth Ave., at 611 5th Ave., the NYPD said.
The suspects also opened new lines of credit using the victim's information, buying a total of $30,000 in goods, police said. Authorities did not have further information about the other purchases.
An NYPD spokesman didn't say why investigators took two months to release the images.
Anyone with information can the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
