“Being able to swipe those cards, knowing which buttons to push in which order, knowing how to max them out and do everything in that order of operation that he does, this guy has done this many, many times,” said Detective Mark Thomas with the Lexington Police Department.
Thomas said that the area where the card was stolen from was Covington Point, a nice neighborhood, according to Thomas. He said that no matter where you are, you should be careful with leaving valuables in your vehicle.
