Credit Card Theft Suspect

HOUSTON -- Houston police hope someone will recognize a man caught on tape using a stolen credit card, KPRC Local 2 reported on Tuesday.

Investigators released two images of a man who spent nearly $4,000 on a credit card within two hours of stealing a wallet from a car on Sunday.

Credit Card Theft Suspect

Rick Overhalt, whose credit cards were stolen, told KPRC Local 2 that he doesn't want anyone else to go through what he experienced.

"Obviously, he's doing this as a career and I would hate to think someone else has to go through the same headaches I'm going through," Overhalt said.

A $5,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in this case.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS.
