Police: Men make fraudulent transactions using 44 credit cards
Four Michigan men reportedly used 44 different credit cards belonging to other people to make fraudulent transactions at Walmart in Cranberry Township, police said.
Eric Karvel Davon Horton, 24, Parys Kendall Warren, 24, Kevin Jaheim Morris, 23, and Anthony Jordan Williams, 20, were each charged Sept. 18 with one felony count each of dealing in proceeds of unlawful activities, access device fraud, theft, receiving stolen property, conspiracy to deal in proceeds of unlawful activities, conspiracy to commit theft and conspiracy to receive stolen property following a Sept. 18 incident.
Police determined the four men arrived in a Chevrolet Blazer. While Horton waited in the vehicle, the other three men entered the store and selected various items. They each made an in-store purchase using Walmart Pay then made additional transactions purchasing prepaid gift cards.
Police found the group made 44 transactions totaling $2,593.56 from their Walmart Pay accounts between 1 and 1:35 p.m. The group used 44 credit cards belonging to others for the transactions, police said.
The four men were later apprehended by police in Beaver County and were found to be carrying nine cellphones.
The four men are being held in Butler County Prison, where they are each being held on $100,000 bail. Their preliminary hearings are scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday before District Judge Kevin Flaherty.
