St. Cloud Police Department: Attempted Theft
On 3/10/07 officers responded to Royal Tire
for an attempted purchase with a fraudulent credit card. The suspects were
from Ghana and were attempting to buy eight tires with a credit card from
North Carolina. The company called the credit card company and learned the
account did not exist. The suspect gave another credit card that also did
not exist. At one point the suspect requested to purchase a ceiling fan
from the tire store. It appears that the suspects are from a foreign
country due to their grammar and spelling and are attempting to buy
anything from a company that will accept their credit cards. There was no
loss in this incident; however, the St. Cloud Police Department would like
other businesses to be aware of similar attempts.
