AKRON -- Police have turned to YouTube yet again with hopes the public can help identify a trio of suspects who allegedly made multiple purchases with a stolen credit card.

Akron Police say the alleged crimes happened on June 23 at two different stores.

The video (see below) first shows the suspects driving up to a gas pump at the Circle K station in the 900 block of East Exchange Street.

Two of the three suspects are also captured on video inside the store.

Police say the trio then went to a CVS Pharmacy in the 500 block of East Market Street and bought more items using the stolen credit card.

All three suspects are seen on surveillance video at the check-out counter inside that location.

Anybody with information is asked to contact the Akron Police Department.

Akron Police have used YouTube in several instances recently to post video of crimes in which they are seeking the public's help in locating the suspects involved. One of those videos showed a woman getting robbed at an ATM. Police were able to make an arrest following tips they received after posting the surveillance footage.
