Police: Man tried to use stolen credit card

Aurora police are asking for the public's help in identifying a man who they say tried to withdraw money from an ATM with a stolen credit card.

Their suspect is appears to be between 25 and 35 years old and was seen driving a full-size, newer pickup truck or SUV, police said.

On Oct. 20, the man twice tried to withdraw funds from an Aurora bank using a credit card that had been stolen earlier that day, police said.

A woman shopping at a store on the city's far west side accidentally had left behind her purse in a shopping cart, police said.

The man was not able to take any money from the bank account.

Detectives say it appears another woman was sitting next to the suspect during the attempted theft.

Anyone with information on his identity is asked to call police at (630) 801-6768 or Crime Stoppers at (630) 892-1000.

People can call Crime Stoppers anonymously and still receive up to a $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.
