Perp Uses Stolen Credit Card To Raid Woman’s Bank Account, Cops Say

Cops are searching for a tattooed thief who last month used a stolen credit card to withdraw hundreds of dollars from a woman’s bank account.

During the middle of the afternoon on January 5, the suspect, who authorities say has tattoos on his forearms, allegedly stole a bank card from a 53-year-old woman while she stood outside Delmar Pizzeria on Sheepshead Bay Road. Almost 10 minutes later, the man withdrew $280 from an ATM at the TD Bank located at the corner of Nostrand Avenue and Gravesend Neck Road, according to police.

The NYPD has released a surveillance photo of the suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) and then entering TIP577.
