(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Police are trying to determine who shattered windows to steal items from two vehicles during a birthday party.

 

On Saturday, officers were called to the 2500 block of East 850 North outside Rolling Prairie, where windows on two cars had been shattered to steal articles left in the vehicles such as credit cards. The crimes were not discovered until close to the end of the two-hour party.

 

One of the victims told investigators she received an alert that one of her credit cards was used at the Meijer in Michigan City, but the over-$500 transaction was denied because of insufficient funds in her account. Another victim reported her credit card was used at the same Meijer, but she had enough funds for the $250 purchase to go through.

 

She said a second credit card belonging to her was used on the over-$500 transaction that was denied, but that one was rejected again because of insufficient funds in her account, according to police.

 

A video recording at Meijer captured the male suspects, described as teenage and black.

 

The hope is to identify the suspects during the ongoing investigation.
