A thief who crawled along movie theater aisles and under seats to steal moviegoers credit cards from their purses has been convicted of fraud and identity theft. Anthony Johnson took the credit cards and then replaced the victim's purse. He and an accomplice then used the stolen cards along with fake IDs to gain cash advances or purchase luxury items which he later sold. It is estimated they made around US$50,000 per weekend.
