MANAHAWKIN – A 42-year-old woman was arrested and charged with stealing a credit card and using it at multiple businesses, police said.
On March 9 around 5:30 p.m., Stafford Township police received a report of a stolen credit card in use. The victim told police that she no longer possessed her credit card and was receiving notifications that it was being used.
The first notification occurred at the Ulta Beauty Store in Manahawkin. Shortly after, a second transaction attempt occurred at Target, which is in the same shopping complex.
Patrolman Racanelli saw the subject in question exiting Target, who was identified as 42-year-old Elizabeth Sierra of Brick. She was found to be in possession of the victim’s credit card.
Sierra was placed under arrest and charged with Fraudulent Use of a Credit Card. She was processed and released pending a future court appearance in Ocean County Superior Court.
All individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
