The Memphis Police Department is actively seeking a female suspect in connection to a significant credit card fraud incident that transpired at a local Home Depot. According to WREG, investigators have stated the woman used a stolen credit card to rack up purchases totaling approximately $28,000, which included a high-end Murray Cruz HP Gas ZTR lawn mower, among other items yet to be disclosed by authorities.
On the evening of August 22, a suspect entered the Home Depot at 4950 Stage Road and made a significant purchase, including a lawn mower worth about $3,000, without raising suspicion at the time. The Memphis Police Department is still reviewing the full details of the purchases. No arrest has been made, but the police have asked the public via Facebook for help in identifying the suspect or providing information to aid the investigation.
The police emphasize the seriousness of the theft due to the large amount spent and urge anyone with information to come forward, including through the “P3 Tips” app, which ensures confidentiality. Action News 5 reports that no additional details about the suspect have been released, but a cash reward may be offered for information leading to an arrest and resolution of the case.
