The Dalton Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying three suspects who stole a debit card from an elderly woman in Dalton and used it to run up more than $1,000 worth of purchases.
On June 25th, a woman got lost in Dalton on her way back to the interstate. She stopped to ask the three suspects, two white females and one black male, for directions. While giving directions, the suspects asked for a ride to Walnut Square Mall. The woman agreed. According to the police report, the suspects gave the woman confusing directions to the mall, and in the confusion, one of the suspects entered her purse and took her debit card. After returning home, the woman got a call from her bank about suspicious activity on her account. The stolen card was used at locations across Dalton and Whitfield County, including Wal-Mart, Gamestop, Catos, CVS Pharmacy, Kangaroo, Zaxby’s, and an Exxon Station. In all, the fraudulent purchases totaled $1,113.82.
During the transactions at the East Walnut Avenue Wal-Mart, three subjects were recorded on the store’s surveillance system using the card. Those three individuals are pictured below. Anyone with information on the identity of these individuals or any other information on this crime is asked to contact Detective John Helton with the Dalton Police Department at 706-278-9085, extension 143.
