Gwinnett County police said Monday they are looking for two suspects accused of breaking into cars at parks and using stolen credit cards.
The suspects smashed the window of one car at Collins Hill Park and another at Lenora Park, police said. The department announcement did not say that the crimes are connected.
Both suspects are men; one had facial hair and the other had dreadlocks.

She reported that two debit cards, her driver’s license, $100 in cash and her cell phone were missing.
