Thieves steal credit cards from father watching Kraken game with his son in Seattle
The Brief
A Lake Forest Park father says thieves broke into his car and stole his credit cards as he was watching a Kraken game on March 16.
That same night, he says he received multiple notifications from his bank alerting him of fraudulent purchases being made in Renton.
RENTON, Wash. - A Lake Forest Park father says thieves broke into his car and stole his credit cards as he was watching a Kraken game at Climate Pledge Arena.
The backstory
Andrey Gulobovich says he was watching the game with his four-year-old son on March 16 when he received multiple notifications from his bank alerting him of fraudulent purchases.
When Gulobovich returned to his vehicle parked outside Climate Pledge Arena, he said his window was smashed in and his wallet was gone.
Renton Police say two suspects were caught on surveillance cameras at a Fred Meyer in downtown Renton on the same night as the hockey game.
"There was an Xbox, Playstation, sound system, and then we also think there were some gift cards," said Meeghan Black, communications manager with the Renton Police Department.
Investigators believe the purchases totaled to nearly $4,500.
Weeks after the theft, Gulobovich is still dealing with the fallout.
"I have multiple businesses, and they got into my debit cards," said Gulobovich. "I just signed some papers today for a bank to say it wasn't my charges."
Anyone with more information on these suspects can contact the Renton Police Department, or Detective Willet at bwillet@ (Case # 25-2374).
