Two men and a woman from New York have been arrested after trying to make a $21,000 purchase with a stolen credit card at the Louis Vuitton store in Tysons on Thursday.

Fairfax County police say the store in Tysons Galleria called them, and officers started watching the two men who came out of the store and got into a rental car the woman was in.

When police stopped the trio, they found the following: “36 fictitious driver’s licenses, 32 stolen credit cards, a USPS mail carrier uniform, a USPS arrow key, stolen articles of mail, and other evidence of theft and fraud,” according to a news release.
