Dressed as women, three men are accused of stealing a woman’s credit card and going on a shopping spree, Fredericksburg, Va., police said.

The victim told police three women entered her business Monday afternoon. Two of them distracted her and a third grabbed her credit card, police said.

Authorities caught up to the suspects after the credit card was declined at a Wa-Wa and the clerk there was able to give police a description of the car.

When police arrested the three, they made two discoveries. First, the car was filled with items believed to have been bought with the victim’s card. Second, the suspects weren’t women, they were cross-dressing men, police said.
