A purse was stolen from a parked car, a credit card was used, and the Chesterfield County/Colonial Heights Crime Solvers program needs your help to solve the case. Between 8:30 and 9 p.m. Tuesday, May 7, a woman parked her car in the lot of Gold's Gym, 9101 Midlothian Turnpike. Her car was locked, but a thief spotted her purse inside and broke one of the car's windows to get to it. The victim did call to cancel all her debit and credit cards, but not before one of the credit cards was used to purchase cartons of Newport cigarettes at various businesses off of Forest Hill Avenue. The suspect who used the stolen card appeared to be an older black male with a grey goatee or beard. For pictures of the suspect, you can visit the Crime of the Week page at www.crimesolvers.net.
