Berkeley Police are seeking a dapper-looking credit card thief who has managed to steal nearly $20,000 in cash and illegally purchased goods. 

Sgt. Mary Kusmiss reports that the serial thief, a fellow who may be driving a 1999-2004 gold Acura RL, has been hitting ATMs for cash and stores for purchases in Berkeley, Oakland and San Leandro.  

ATMs are generally equipped with cameras, and the plastic pilferer has been captured in digital form, so Sgt. Kusmiss hopes the images will result in his apprehension. 

The sergeant asks anyone with leads to call the Berkeley Police Property Crimes Detail at 981-5737 and refer to case number 07-58035. Anyone who spots the suspect should call the department’s non-emergency dispatcher line at 981-5900.
