Debit Card Fraud

Wilkesboro Police are investigating a reported case of debit card fraud. A Roaring River woman told officers late last week that she had been contacted by her bank regarding charges to her account. It appears someone was able to get into her online account and use the information to make a number of purchases. The victim was able to supply a several-page long list of items charged to her account that she did not purchase. She says her daughter also had access to the account and the card, but she does not suspect her of making the charges. The bank has since closed her account and invalidated the debit card, while police continue their investigation.
