Shepparton man arrested over credit card deceptions

Sen Const Van Emmerik said six credit cards were stolen in the early hours of Wednesday, April 22 from a vehicle parked in Green Ct, Kialla.

It is alleged the credit cards were then used in a spate of deceptions across Kialla and Shepparton.

Sen Const Van Emmerik said the cards were successfully used at five different locations, where around $370 worth of goods were purchased.

He said a further attempt to use one of the cards was made at Coles in Riverside Plaza, Kialla; however, the card was declined.

The Shepparton man was arrested on Thursday and charged with theft from a motor vehicle and a number of deception charges.

Sen Const Van Emmerik said the police investigation continued in regards to another offender involved.
