Credit Cards Stolen From Wallet, Used For Fraudulent Purchases
The Dalton Police Department is asking for the public's help to identify two people who used stolen credit cards to rack up more than $1,200 in fraudulent purchases at Walmart. The pair were recorded on store surveillance.
The incident happened December 18th. The victim began to get alerts from his bank that his credit cards were being used for suspicious purchases. When the victim checked his wallet, he found that two of his credit cards and a debit card were missing from the wallet along with approximately $200 in cash. The victim wasn't sure when the items were stolen, but believed it either happened when he left his wallet in an unlocked gym locker or at a golf course. Regardless of when the cards were stolen, they were used by a couple to make approximately $1,500 in fraudulent charges.
Investigators were able to retrieve video of the transactions at the Shugart Road Walmart. The pair, a white or Hispanic male and a white female, entered the store and made two transactions. The first was for a Visa Silver gift card with $569.76 loaded onot it as well as a bouquet of flowers. The second transaction was for a second Visa Silver gift card, this time charged for $504.94. The victim reported that there were also six debit card transactions made for approximately $400 more.
The male suspect is white or Hispanic, tall with a small amount of facial hair wearing a black vest with a long sleeve black shirt underneath. He wore jogger sweat pants with a white design on the left leg. He wore a brown baseball cap. The female suspect was a shorter white female with long brown and blonde hair which she wore in a pony tail. She had a medium build and was wearing a dark sweater and black pants with a brown and khaki colored scarf. Pictures of the two suspects are included below. Both suspects left together in a gray 2000s model Porsche Cayenne.
