San Luis Obispo police say a man accused of using a fake credit card to steal thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from a local appliance store is also responsible for stealing TVs from a San Luis Obispo hotel.
Police Thursday posted surveillance photos of the man on social media from when he checked out of the hotel two days earlier. They say he used a fraudulent credit card to pay for the room and took TVs from the room with him when he left.
