Over the past two months, police in Lexington have been getting reports of people breaking into vehicles and then using stolen credit cards.
Surveillance footage from a convenience store shows the man police say used credit cards stolen from cars.
Detectives say that the man is working with another man.
“They’re riding around together in a black four-door passenger car,” said Detective Mark Thomas with the Lexington Police Department.
The car was recently caught on surveillance footage and police say it appears to have a spare tire on the front passenger’s side.
Detectives say that the car break-ins are not confined to a particular neighborhood or even a particular part of town.

“They’ve been breaking into these cars and stealing any kind of valuables they can get their hands on and then again, any kind of credit cards they can get, they’re using them almost immediately,” said Detective Thomas.
Detective Thomas said that the two are using the cards at convenience stores and Walmart to purchase gift cards.
Police claim that the two are responsible for at least 20 car break-ins.
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information leading to an arrest.
