Suspect Tried to Use Stolen Card 60 Times, Police Say

The victim's wallet was reported stolen from a locker at Gold's Gym in Murrieta, according to police.

More than 60 fraudulent credit card transactions were attempted the same day a victim's wallet was reported stolen from a locker at a Murrieta gym, according to police.

Following the alleged theft that occurred at about 4 p.m. Jan. 6 at Gold's Gym, 39400 Murrieta Hot Springs Road, a suspect was seen on surveillance footage using the victim's credit card at Target, 41040 California Oaks Road, according to a wanted flier posted by Murrieta police.

An investigation revealed the suspect seen using the card at Target had entered Gold's Gym at approximately the same time the theft was reported Jan. 6, according to the police flier.

The suspect gave the name of Brian Myers and paid $10 cash for a day‐use pass, police said; he then left the gym about three minutes later.

Police believe the card was also used at Target in Lake Elsinore, and attempts to use it were made at more than 60 locations throughout the local area in the hours that followed the theft.

The suspect was described as a white male about 18 to 22 years old wearing a white hat, a burgundy and gray jacket, a black Hurley T-shirt and black shorts. He also wore a bandage on his thumb, police said.

Anyone with information pertaining to the investigation was encouraged to contact Murrieta police Detective Sgt. Phil Gomez at 951-461‐6356.

Humph... So they have cameras at Gold's Gym, too? I doubt this young fellow knew that.
SURPRISE!

I had the same thing almost happen to me when a group of teens were standing by my locker. When I got out of shower they split, found lock was cut, but locker contents still there. Gold's gym answer after I cancelled my membership was to send my account to collections. I explained the breach of trust and they did nothing. Like the facility just need more precatiuons in place.

This seems unjust, isn't there something you could do?
Would it do any good to file a complaint to the better business?

Now this racist wants a new amendment to the Immigration reform act that doesn't allow anyRead More citizenship but allows the cap on migrant workers to be raised to the needs of the Corporate world. What he is saying is as long as wealthy farm corporation need almost "free slave labor" its ok to allow them to cross, but as to be his equal, its out of the question.......ROFLMAO.........that should being Republican, Southern Confederates to the polls but not the minority swellings that can lead to easy landslide Democratic victories.....Thanks Nathan Bedford Forrest....you serve the racists the red meat that only serves OLD WHITE Confederate freaks and redneck dimwits that call themselves Republicans.....This is SOOO much fun to watch.

Randolfo, Serafin has no traffic control training. She uses a website as her teacher, that is set upRead More by some Far Right Extremists to scare people about big government. Now, shes going to tell the professionals in the city and surrounding cities, how long yellow lights should be. She has nothing else to do with her time except read Right Wing fear sites and listen to the Rush's and Glenn Beck's of the world who love to scare OLD WHITE REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVES into there wild eyed conspiracy theories. Diana right now is in Hawaii looking for someones birth certificate or wait.....worried the Murrieta police bought an armored vehicle......shes a paranoia freak......drones Diana, drones are looking for you!! Let the professional traffic engineers figure out whats right for our city....BE AFRAID, DIANA, WMD's are coming!!! WMD's!!!

Our family has received 2 red light tickets and I would still rather have them. We live very nearRead More Nutmeg & Clinton Keith. The intersection there is very wide and it is not uncommon for some idiot turning left on to Clinton Keith to jump out in front of the on coming traffic. One family member was involved in an accident there due to that very bone head maneuver! Now with the red light camera gone we have to worry about the traffic blowing the light on Clinton Keith. Not that it didn't happen before, but now it is an ongoing problem. Just the other day a as I was about to enter the intersection some stupid guy making a left turn jumped out in front of me and another nitwit blew the red light. I was almost broadsided and hit head-on! Maybe the red light cameras don't deter I don't know, but it sure made me pay a little more attention after having to pay the $396 fine! I hated paying the fine, but I did the crime! So I can't complain......grow up people!
