Licking County Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward for anyone that has information leading to an arrest in the theft of a credit card. The Heath Police Department reports on June 12, a Florida woman contacted Heath Police to report her credit card had been used by someone to purchase $1,350 in merchandise at the Heath Walmart. The woman said she’d never been to Ohio, and didn’t know how the perpetrators were able to get her credit card information. Walmart officials were able to get store surveillance camera pictures of the suspect (see photos below).
Anyone with information on this crime is urged to call the Licking County Crime Stoppers at 740-349-6888 or 1-888-488-9058. A special coding system protects the identity of the caller but allows for the reward to be issued at a later time.
