State College police are looking for several suspects in connection with a downtown credit-card theft — and they want the public’s help.

The theft happened about 1 a.m. Sunday at the Lion’s Den, 118 S. Garner Street, where a wallet containing the card was taken from a customer, police said.

Soon thereafter, about 1:40 a.m., four suspects used the card at a Patton Township McDonald’s, 1615 N. Atherton St., according to a police report. 

The suspects also tried to open additional credit-card accounts using the victim’s name, police said.

A security camera captured images of the suspects. Those images appear with this article, to the right. 

Anyone who recognizes any of the suspects, and anybody who can provide additional information in the case, is asked to call State College police at (814) 234-7150. Anonymous tips may be submitted through the borough website, available through this page.
