Bank Teller In Clay Accused Of Using Customers' Credit Cards

CLAY, AL — A bank teller at the Regions Bank branch in Clay has been arrested after being accused of using customers' credit cards to make purchases for herself. Amber Jones, 25, was arrested Friday and charged with trafficking in stolen identities and two counts of identity theft, according to a report from the Trussville police.

Suspicion arose when a 17-year-old customer at the bank saw a fraudulent charge on his card to a food delivery service and called the service to complain. This triggered an investigation by Trussville police that led to Jones' arrest.

A search of Jones' home revealed several bank deposit slips with credit card numbers and names written on them, as well as receipts from merchants where she had bought items with the card numbers.

The police report says Jones admitted to using as many as 10 customers' credit card numbers to make purchases, beginning in November of 2019.

Jones was transferred to the Jefferson County Jail with bonds totaling $55,000.
