Stolen credit card used; police seek information

A VISA credit card belonging to a local resident was stolen between 4 and 5 p.m. on May 16. By 5:15 p.m., the suspect had used the stolen credit card twice to purchase cell phone cards at Wal-Mart for almost $700, Ponca City Police said Thursday.

Surveillance pictures from Wal-Mart show a dark colored, possibly green, Dodge pickup pulling into the parking lot of the store at approximately 5:06 p.m. The tailgate of the pickup is down and large objects are in the back. The female suspect shown in the surveillance pictures appears to be young and Caucasian.
