DEDHAM, MA — Police are looking for a suspect they said stole someone's credit card information and used the stolen information to make a fake card and shop at Legacy Place.

On February 2, the suspect rather than physically taking the person's card, used a card skimming device, according to police. Skimming is the act of putting a small device in a payment machine to get someone's credit card information during a routine store transaction.

According to police, the suspect used the stolen credit card information to shop at two stores at Legacy Place, as well as stores at Market Street in Lynnfield and Square One Mall in Saugus.
