A person of interest in two vehicle break-ins that took place on Sunday, Aug. 21, 2016, at Rocky Mountain National Park.

Rangers from Rocky Mountain National Park are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who Sunday broke into two cars at the park.

Between 11 a.m. and 11:45 a.m., visitors reported two vehicle break-ins at the east Alluvial Fan parking lot, according to a news release from the park. The car windows were broken and purses containing credit cards were stolen and used in nearby businesses immediately.

Video surveillance captured an image of a man using a stolen credit card to purchase camping equipment.

Park Rangers are working with the Estes Park Police Department and Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, where the fraudulent credit card activity took place.

Anyone with information about the break-ins can call the tip line at Rocky Mountain National Park at 970-586-1290. Officials also remind visitors to be aware of any suspicious activity and not leave valuables in vehicles.
