San Luis Obispo police officers are searching for a man and woman who allegedly used stolen credit cards to purchase more than $1,000 of gift cards. 

On Saturday afternoon, a burglar smashed the window of a vehicle parked at the Cerro San Luis trailhead and stole credit cards from inside the car. A man and woman then allegedly used the stolen credit cards to buy gift cards from the CVS store at the Marigold Center. 

The San Luis Obispo Police Department has released a surveillance image of the suspects inside CVS. Police ask that anyone who can identify the suspects call Officer Bravo at (805) 594-8081.
