MIAMI – Miami police are searching for two men who officers say bought more than $400 in Target gift cards with a stolen credit card.
Kiara Delva, a spokesman for the Miami Police Department, said one of the men used the stolen card around 9 p.m. on Aug. 31 at a Target store in the 3400 block of North Miami Avenue. He purchased gift cards worth about $412, Delva.
The same day, a second man attempted to buy another $400 worth of gift cards, but he was unsuccessful, Delva said. The man fled the store when employees flagged the purchase, Delva said.
On Monday, police released video footage of the men at the Target in the hope that someone could identify them.
