Theft and mischief at east end business

An investigation Wednesday evening into a fraudulent bank card used at an east end business ended with the arrest of a 34-year-old city woman.

Officers were called to the establishment around 9 p.m. after the card had been used at the business. When police arrived the female suspect was no longer on scene however a vehicle involved was identified. 

A little more than an hour later police were called by a North Front Street business for a report of a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot.

After arriving on scene, officers quickly determined the driver was the same female involved in the east end incident.

The female was charged with theft under $5000, fraud under $5000, breach of probation and held for a bail hearing today (September 7, 2023).
