An arrest has been made in the alleged theft of credit cards from parked vehicles earlier this month.
Det. Pat Corona of the Batavia Police Department said local media reports about the alleged theft and use of the cards, along with surveillance photos of the alleged suspect, turned up numerous tips leading to the arrest.
Taken into custody and charged with grand larceny, 4th, was Kyle C. Monroe, 20, of 43 Washington Ave., Batavia.
Monroe was located allegedly hiding in the backyard of 131 State St.
He is accused of taking the credit cards from a parked vehicle on Gateway Drive on June 14 and using them to purchase a variety of items at local retail stores, including a laptop computer, electronics and clothing.
The Genesee County Sheriff's Office assisted in the investigation.
Additional charges may be pending and the investigation is continuing.
Monroe was jailed without bail.
