Help Catch a Credit Card Thief

A woman in a bright orange shirt walked into the Cortez Road Walmart on Aug. 21 and racked up seven transactions on a cloned debit card.

Not satisfied with her haul, she left and went to the Palmetto Walmart where she bilked her victim out of more cash.

That woman, Bradenton Police say, is now wanted on a host of charges. The problem is, police haven’t been able to identify her yet. That’s why they’re turning to area residents in hopes someone will recognize her. Police say the woman was accompanied by a heavy set Hispanic female wearing a blue Aeropostle shirt during both incidents.

Anyone who can identify her is asked to call Det. Nasario Camacho Jr. at 941-932-9312 , and reference case No. 2014-6965. For those who want to remain anonymous and have a chance of earning a reward of up to $1,000, tips can be called into Crime Stoppers 1-866-634-8477, or submitted online through www.manateecrimestoppers.com.
