Melbourne credit card thieves spend big

A pair of Melbourne thieves took a credit card from a letter box and went on a shopping spree.

The credit card was stolen from a mailbox in Footscray around June 19 and was then used at ATMs, restaurants and retail stores over two weeks, police said on Tuesday.

The thieves, a man and a woman aged 20-30, also made a number of large computer and electrical purchases in Southbank and have been captured on CCTV.
