State police in Petoskey were investigating a stolen credit card Thursday when they learned that it was being used at the Grand Traverse Mall. Troopers asked Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s deputies for help in locating the suspects.

Deputies were dispatched to the mall and tracked down three suspects believed to have been present when the stolen card was used, Lt. Chris Barsheff says.

The suspects, two Traverse City men ages 20 and 21 and a 28-year-old Detroit man, were connected to two purchases allegedly made with a stolen credit card at the mall, one for $250 and one for $159.
