Two Loomis teens are in juvenile hall after their stolen credit card spree quickly ran out.
According to authorities, the two Loomis 16-year-olds stole a wallet from a vehicle in Folsom some time after the 7 p.m. kickoff of the Dec. 4 football game between Del Oro and Folsom high schools. (The Bee is not identifying the pair because they are under the age of 18.)
Over the next several hours the teens bought three tanks of gas, pigged out on food and drink and then tried to rent some video games from Blockbuster, said Lt. Lon Milka, a spokesman for the Rocklin Police Department.
The victim, who still had her purse, hadn't noticed that her wallet was gone, Milka said.
An alert Blockbuster video employee called the victim to OK the purchase, Milka said.
The juveniles fled the store, but were quickly arrested at a nearby 7-11 convenience store on Sierra College Boulevard after using another one of the victim's credit cards, he said.
The teens are accused of using the victim's cards 11 times over a three-hour period.
They were arrested on suspicion of burglary, possession of stolen property and conspiracy, Milka said.
