Seattle, WA – Detectives with the King County Sheriff’s Office are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man allegedly connected to a credit card theft that occurred earlier this month in Issaquah.
According to the King County Sheriff’s Office, the incident happened on June 11, when credit cards were stolen from inside a vehicle parked at the Poo Poo Point Trailhead, a popular hiking area in Issaquah, King County, east of Seattle.
Investigators say the stolen cards were later used at Bellevue Square, where the suspect allegedly made purchases at the Apple Store and Nordstrom, totaling more than $7,000 in fraudulent charges.
Authorities released images of the suspect and are urging anyone who recognizes the man or has information about his identity to come forward. Detectives believe tips from the public could help move the investigation forward quickly.
The King County Sheriff’s Office emphasized that the suspect has not been identified or arrested, and the case remains under active investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office tip line at 206-296-3311.
Law enforcement officials also used the incident to remind residents and visitors to avoid leaving valuables inside parked vehicles, especially at trailheads and recreational areas that can be targeted for theft.
The Poo Poo Point Trailhead is frequently used by hikers and paragliders, particularly during summer months, drawing visitors from Issaquah, Bellevue, and the greater Seattle metro area.
