A warrant has been issued by Salem police for the suspect in the theft of credit cards from a local gym.

Wanted on a felony arrest warrant is Richard Woods, 48, of Charlestown, Mass., in connection with the theft and subsequent use of credit cards on Jan. 10 in Salem.

Woods and an accomplice were observed on video surveillance at both The Workout Club and Best Buy in Salem. The suspect stole credit cards from the locker room of the gym and then went on a shopping spree at Best Buy and the Apple Store, charging nearly $6,000 on various electronics.

Salem police credit two of the businesses for their efforts and cooperation during the investigation. Police said the media outlets who played footage of the theft and shopping spree were helpful, as well. This cooperation and video footage resulted in numerous tips identifying the suspect, ultimately leading to his positive identification and charges being sought.

Salem detectives are currently working with law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts to locate and take Woods into custody.
