Two men and a woman were arrested Tuesday night after they attempted to make roughly $1,200 in purchases at Sears using stolen credit cards, Ann Arbor police said.
Officers tracked the three down at a gas station near the Briarwood Mall store after loss prevention officials reported the incident at 6:20 p.m., police spokeswoman Lt. Renee Bush said.
A 29-year-old Pittsfield Township man, 31-year-old Ypsilanti Township man and 24-year-old Belleville woman are in custody, police said.
According to police, the three attempted to buy roughly $200 in tools and more than $1,000 in electronics.
Their names have not been released as charges are pending.

They is no doubt in my mind that they (are stupid) thinking they would not get caught. I could care less about names, they were caught!

If I were to call these three individuals stupid, would my comment be removed because it is just speculation?

That's what I was thinking Killroy. Don't CC companies and banks put a flag on the account immediately when the owner reports it stolen?

Gosh, some folks just don't think carefully enough about their actions. Who, in their right mind, would use someone elses' credit card?!
