The Medford Police Department has issued a call for assistance to the public, as they work to identify an individual connected to a series of credit card thefts. According to their official Facebook page, the suspect is believed to be involved in the unauthorized use of credit cards, following a vehicle break-in that occurred on Fells Avenue during the last weekend of April.

Authorities have released images captured at various local businesses where the stolen credit cards were used. The social media appeal specifically asks for help in identifying the person shown in the photos, indicating that this individual is the prime suspect. Details are scarce, but the incident under investigation unfolded over the weekend of April 26–27, as per the information provided by the Medford Police Department.

In their outreach, Medford Police did not specify the number, or nature, of the businesses affected by these fraudulent charges. They have, however, made a direct plea to people who might recognize the suspect or have relevant information, asking them to contact Detective Michael Pellegrino.

Anyone with insight into the identity of the suspect or additional information related to this string of thefts is encouraged to get in touch with Detective Pellegrino directly, the authorities suggested. The contact number provided for Detective Pellegrino is 781-391-6767, thereby streamlining the process for anyone willing to step forward with potential leads.
