Social Media Aids Search for Alleged Credit Card Thief

Gloucester Township Police have turned to social media again for a credit card fraud case.

Surveillance video from the ShopRite on Blackwood Clementon Road shows a young man, wearing a blue baseball cap with the white letter "B" on the front, see a victim drop her wallet and then pick it up and leave the store.
