Surveillance photos of three people who “we believe are connected to the unauthorized purchases” at numerous Lexington County stores in March were released by Sheriff Jay Koon Saturday.

“Multiple cardholders notified us last month after their cards were fraudulently used,” Koons said as he asked the public for help identifying the two men and a woman in the photos.

“The images are the best tool we have right now to break these cases,” Koon said.

The individuals are believed to be connected to a black Toyota minivan, Koon said.

If you can identify any of the people captured by surveillance cameras, you are asked to contact CrimeStoppers at 888-CRIME-SC (888-274-6372). Anonymous tips can be submitted at www.LexingtonSheriff.com.
