Windsor police say a man has been charged after a woman reported her purse stolen.

Police soon learned someone had been showing up at various businesses and paying for items with the woman's stolen credit cards.
On Tuesday morning, police announced that a 39-year-old man had been arrested. He was already on probation for fraud and theft-related charges.
The man is charged with possession of stolen property, using a stolen credit card, fraud under $5,000, and failing to comply with a probation order.
The charges have yet to be proven in court.
