Four young men who Instagrammed photos of themselves after purchasing $120 worth of fast food with a stolen credit card now have another photo to post on Instagram: a mug shot. Bet that’ll look pretty snazzy with an antique filter.
After a series of break-ins at a hotel parking lot, one of the victims noticed that she had a charge for $120 worth of food from Carl’s Jr. on her card. As salivatingly awesome as that may be, it was not her own purchase, and the police set out to find the perpetrator.
Once police arrived at the Carl’s Jr. location, they questioned an employee who offered up a license plate number, as well as an account of how she recognized one of the men in the car from a local high school.
“Officers then learned photos of the thieves’ purchase may have been posted to an Instagram account,”
“They checked the account and found a photo believed to be of the suspects eating the food they purchased on the stolen card.”
