Crimestoppers seeks information on debit card theft

by Kellen Moore

Watauga County Crimestoppers and the Boone Police Department are seeking information about a person suspected of stealing a debit card in late August.

 

A woman's wallet was taken from a vehicle parked outside Galileo's Bar and Cafe at 1089 W. King St. between 10 a.m. Aug. 16 and 10 p.m. Aug. 17, according to a press release.

 

A debit card in the wallet was then fraudulently used at several Boone businesses. Security cameras at Smokes 'N More at 178 Southgate Drive show a white female exiting a green four-door car and making a purchase in the store. The footage shows at least two other people in the car, including a white male in the passenger seat.

 

Anyone with information about this crime or any other crime should call Crimestoppers at (828) 268-6959 or the Boone Police Department at (828) 268-6900.

 

All information will be kept confidential. Crimestoppers pays rewards for information that leads to arrests, recovery of stolen property, seizure of drugs or the location of wanted persons.
