GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) Green Bay Police are one step closer to catching the suspects responsible for a rash of break-ins this weekend.  They believe two men stole electronics and credit cards from nearly two dozen vehicles parked near Red Smith School.

Jessica Geffre's car was broken into Saturday morning.  "They just took one of the credit cards - there was a lot of stuff in my purse I wish they would have left," she told us.

The suspects mainly targeted cars in this neighborhood, hitting nearly 2 dozen vehicles - even snatching items from several homes.  Police say the men then went on a shopping spree.  "As soon as they got done," Capt. Bill Galvin says.  "They headed down the interstate on Highway 41, stopping at stores and bought expensive electronics at Wal-mart."

One stop was in Appleton, where authorities were able to trace Geffre's stolen credit card down to the exact register.  The transaction was caught by a security camera, and gives us our first look at the alleged duo.
