LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — Pennsylvania State Police arrested a woman on Friday after she was allegedly caught on surveillance cameras stealing over $8K in a credit card fraud scheme.
Elizabeth Adair, 28, reportedly made $6,694.32 worth of purchases on the victim’s credit card from October 23 to Dec. 27, 2024.
Later the victim reported a second credit card was made in their name, on which there were more unauthorized purchases between November 9 and Dec. 27, 2024, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
Officials reportedly acquired surveillance footage of Adair that made the victim able to identify her as the suspect. The victim never gave Adair permission to possess or use their credit cards.
Adair is facing charges for identity theft and access device fraud warrant after stealing a total of $8,449.07.
She is currently in custody at Berks County Prison after being unable to post bail.
