Buying booze and smokes with a stolen card
A 31-year-old Chatham man is facing charges after allegedly purchasing some alcohol and cigarettes with someone else's debit card.
Police said the investigation started when officers were notified that a local woman's wallet, which had her debit card inside, had been stolen from her vehicle overnight earlier this week.
Investigators said they were able to identify a suspect with the help of video surveillance and arrested him Tuesday night.
The accused was charged with possession of a stolen credit card, unauthorized use of a stolen credit card, possession of property obtained by crime, and fraud.
He was later released with conditions and a future court date.
