LACEY, Wash. – Police are sharing a story about a man they arrested last week after he stole credit cards while acting like he was a realtor.

The Lacey Police Department said the fake realtor stopped by the home for sale to “look around.”

The man stole several credit cards and left, quickly using a $1,000 purchase at a nearby auto store.

An officer, who was nearby, went to the store to find the man trying to run away. The officer was able to catch up and arrest the man for residential burglary, criminal impersonation, forgery, obstructing an officer and for another pre-existing warrant.
