San Luis Obispo police searching for suspects accused of using stolen credit cards

You know that sinking feeling when you realize your wallet’s gone? It happened to someone here in SLO this week, and according to CalCoastNews, police are now asking for our help tracking down two women who allegedly made off with it—and a cell phone—before going on a spending spree worth thousands of dollars using stolen credit cards. The theft went down on Tuesday, and SLO PD is hoping someone recognizes the suspects from surveillance footage or saw something around town.

This hits close to home because, in a community like ours where we often leave doors unlocked and trust our neighbors, it’s a sharp reminder that opportunists are watching. Whether it’s downtown, near campus, or at a local trailhead, a quick distraction is all it takes. If you saw anything unusual Tuesday or have info that could help, please reach out to SLO PD. Let’s look out for each other—because keeping our little slice of the Central Coast safe starts with all of us.
