Concord police are looking for two men they believe used stolen credit card information at Target stores to make thousands of dollars worth of purchases.So far, only one victim has come forward, but police believe there are more and they worry this crime may span into other states.Authorities said the stolen credit card information was used to buy gift cards, some of which were used in New York and New Jersey. They also said one of the men used a New York ID, which may be fake.Fortunately, at the Target store in Concord, the bank declined the stolen credit card, setting police on their trail.The New Hampshire victim, who did not want to be identified, was notified by his bank that his card had been declined. He then learned that the men had successfully used his card at the Hooksett location just hours before. "These two individuals appear to be the ones attempting to make the purchases in Concord," Lt. O'Malley said. " went to Hooksett, obtained the video from that store, and the same two individuals were seen making the $5,000 purchase."This took place all while the victim had his credit card in his wallet."The concern is that perhaps his ID or credit card info was stolen through some other means, and a new card was made and they are using it to make illegal purchases," O'Malley said.As for the victim, he changed passwords and is combing through his credit reports."It is time consuming and you do feel a little violated, especially when you are careful with what you do with your information. People can get that, and I have no idea how they got the information," he said.Target officials told police they've seen the men in the store before and they usually drive a Dodge Charger."One concern in this case is they appeared to have other cards," O'Malley said.Police aren't sure if these men are local or if they are involved in a bigger crime ring. They ask that anyone who may be a victim of this to call your local police department.
