Stolen credit card used at La Mesa gas station

October 7, 2015 (Santee and La Mesa)—The Sheriff seeks public help to find a “person of interest” caught on surveillance video at a La Mesa gas station where a stolen credit card was used on September 23 shortly before dawn.  She drove a red four-door car.

The credit card was among items stolen during a burglary of a home on Woodside Avenue in Santee just hours earlier. The thief broke in while the homeowner was sleeping and stole items including cash and credit cards from the victim’s purse.  Also stolen were U.S. Marine Challenge coins (see photo) that belong to the victim’s son.
