Credit Cards Online Information

A woman accused of both theft and possession of stolen credit cards was charged Wednesday with two third-degree felonies and two class B misdemeanors.

Court documents allege the woman attempted to buy $359 worth of goods at a Salt Lake County Smith's supermarket with a stolen credit card. When the card was rejected as stolen and the store alarm went off, the woman ran out of the store, dumping an additional $16 worth of merchandise out of her purse, documents state.

Then, when the woman was taken into custody and searched, police say a second credit card belonging to another person was found in the lining of her purse. The owner of the second credit card claims both his wallet and car were stolen in March.

The woman is being charged with two counts of unlawful possession of a credit card, one count of retail theft and one count of theft by receiving stolen property. She is not being charged in connection with vehicle theft.

If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
