A short time later the burglar used the victim's credit cards at the Circle K on Balm River Road to withdraw cash, and buy gas.

Detectives said he was seen on surveillance video driving a white mid1990's model Chevrolet Lumina APV minivan, with a luggage rack on top and possibly black or tan sport stripes. The minivan also has silver wheels or wheel covers and rectangular fog lights in the front bumper.
