Eufaula Police: 4 juveniles charged with credit card fraud

EUFAULA, Ala. (WTVM) - Four juveniles have been arrested and charged with fraudulent use of a credit card in Eufaula, police say.

According to the Eufaula Police Department (EPD), several credit/debit cards were used to make unauthorized purchases. Investigators say the purchase had been taking place since last school year.

EPD says the suspects were getting the card numbers in an area familiar to athletes. They were going through victims’ personal belongings, obtaining the cards then taking photos of the card’s information.

The juveniles would share the information and make purchases.

Some property was recovered in the investigation.
