Home security cameras caught a man and woman riding bikes through a neighborhood near Plainview and Campbell in mid October. The video shows them rummaging through cars. One victim reported $5,000 in stolen electronics. The two are then seen on video at a nearby convenience store where they used another victim’s debit card to buy more than $300 in lottery tickets and scratchers.

Detectives say thanks to viewer tips, Anderson will also be in court in July.
