Police track credit card stolen in local robbery to Indianapolis

The Bloomington Police Department recently obtained video surveillance from an Indianapolis liquor store security camera depicting several black males using a credit card stolen from a Bloomington resident during an armed robbery earlier this month.

The alleged armed robbery occurred April 3 at Bloomington’s Colonial Crest Apartments.

The residents said three to four males entered their apartment and stole cash and an XBOX console, among other items.

One “carried a sawed-off shotgun,” according to the report.

The men were approximately 20 years of age and drove a gold Ford Taurus with missing hubcaps.

“One of the victim’s credit cards had been stolen and used several times in the Indianapolis area,” the report said.

The footage was from a liquor store on East 38th Street in Indianapolis.

Because there are multiple individuals in the surveillance photo, BPD Lt. David Drake said officers are unsure which one handed the credit card to the cashier.

Officer Robert Shrake is in charge of the investigation. Anyone with information regarding the suspects’ identity is asked to call BPD at (812) 339-4477.
