East Hampton Town police have asked for the public's help in identifying a woman who made purchases using credit card information apparently stolen from an East Hampton resident.

According to a news release sent out by the department, "a white female with long blonde hair wearing blue jeans, a white long-sleeve fleece with pockets and white sneakers" walked into a Target store in Huntington Station on Nov. 25 and purchased jewelry, electronics, and gift cards with a credit card, using the stolen personal information to get the transactions approved.

She was dropped off, and later picked up, at the store at 124 East Jericho Turnpike by a driver in a four-door gray or white sedan.

The department sent out a surveillance photo of both the suspect and the car involved.

Anyone with information on her or the vehicle involved has been asked to call East Hampton Town police at 631-537-7575.
