Police search for men who made unauthorized withdrawals
Two black men are being sought in an access device fraud investigation by state police at Fern Ridge.
Troopers said the two used a counterfeit debit card of a 45-year-old man from Albrightsville, Penn Forest Township, Carbon County, to make five unauthorized withdrawals from the account.
On March 14 at about 9:48 p.m. the card was used to make a ATM withdrawal from the Stroud Mall in Stroudsburg totaling $402.50. The remaining four charges were made on March 15 at the Walmart store in Mahoning Township at 7:33 p.m. for $101.34; at 7:34 p.m. for $100.78; at 7:37 p.m. for $101.79; and at 7:38 p.m. for $102.98. The two would then make small item purchases and get $100 cash back, troopers said.
Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to call troopers at 570-646-2271.
