Mass. Woman Arrested in NH for Credit Card Fraud

MERRIMACK, NH — A Bay State woman is expected in court in November on two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card, one being a felony, on Oct. 11, 2016, according to the Merrimack Police. Shamia C. Jordan, 22, of Boston Post Road in Sudbury, MA, was arrested after an investigation that started in September after an alleged incident in Nashua.

According to police, Nashua officers began questioning the occupants of a vehicle after a traffic stop and “detected discrepancies between the three people, which resulted in further interviews with Jordan,” according to Det. Chris Spillane of the Merrimack Police Department.

“Police conducted a subsequent search of the vehicle, and discovered a number of cloned credit cards, in which Jordan admitted to having fraudulently used a short time earlier in Merrimack at both the State Liquor and Wine Outlet on Dobson Way and also at the Nike Outlet Store at the Merrimack Premium Outlet,” according to Spillane. “In all, Merrimack Police detectives learned Jordan used the illegally manufactured credit cards to purchase nearly $2,000 in product between the two retail outlets in a very short period of time just prior to the Nashua Police stopping the vehicle.”

Jordan was arrested yesterday and is due in court on Nov. 17. She also is facing felony and receiving stolen property charges in Nashua, according to police.
