DURHAM - Durham police have charged two people in the use of credit cards stolen from a woman who was visiting a terminally ill child at Duke Hospital last month.

Cynthia A. Glenn, 22, of Maplewood Drive and Timothy Jovan Tate, 21, of Delano Street have each been charged with three counts of identity theft and three counts of obtaining property by false pretense, according to police reports.

The owner of the credit cards left her purse in a hospital room April 25, according to a Durham police news release.

The cards were used that weekend for $90,000 in purchases from Belk, Wal-Mart and Apple and convenience stores in Durham, Raleigh, Wake Forest and Knightdale, police said.

A security camera in one store captured images of Glenn using the stolen cards April 25 to buy gift cards, police said. She wore hospital scrubs at the time. She was accompanied by Tate.
