CARROLLTON (KRLD) - Carrollton Police are looking for a woman that used a stolen credit card of an elderly woman who died in her car.

Police say the elderly woman died of natural causes on New Year's Day in the parking lot of the Frankfurt DART station in Carrollton. She was on her way to visit her terminally ill husband at the VA hospital in Dallas.

Authorities say the suspect reached inside her car and grabbed the credit card out of the purse in the elderly woman's lap.

The stolen credit card was used New Year's Day in Dallas at both the Food Land at 8411 Lake June Road, and then immediately next door at the Always Dollar "$1 Mart" at 8417 Lake June Road where the suspect was captured on surveillance video.

Carrollton Police are asking anyone who recognizes the suspect or knows anything about the crime to call (972) 466-3333, or send tips to CrimeTips@CityofCarrollton.com.
