The search is on for three suspects who allegedly stole credit cards and used them to buy more than $21,000 in Target gift cards.

On Friday, the Washington County Sheriff's Office issued a public plea to help find the men who were caught on surveillance images exiting a Target store in the east metro.

"The loss is $21,839.36 so far, so we'd really like to talk about it," the Sheriff's Office said in a tweet. "If you know these guys, let us know."

The men could be driving an older gray Dodge Journey, possibly bearing Michigan plates, the Sheriff's Office said.

Anybody with information can call the tip line, 651-430-7850.
