Stolen Vehicle with 22 Credit Cards Inside Recovered by Petaluma Police

NORTH BAY, CA -- Police in Sonoma County have arrested an Oakland woman after she was found in possession of a stolen car that had nearly two dozen fraudulent credit cards inside it.

The case was opened Feb. 14 when Petaluma police received a telephone call from Oakland police advising that there was a possible stolen vehicle in the Petaluma Village Premium Outlets shopping center at the 2200 block of Petaluma Boulevard North. The vehicle was rented through an online website called TURO with a stolen credit card.

The car was equipped with a GPS device and Oakland police tracked it to Petaluma Village Premium Outlets. Petaluma Police responded and located three women walking back to the car. All were detained, and the driver was identified as 27-year-old Oakland resident Daynisha Brigamms.

22 credit cards were located in the vehicle and collected as evidence of suspected fraudulent credit card manufacturing. Additionally, Brigamms was found to have two theft-related warrants out of two other counties, and was arrested for the theft of the vehicle and the warrants.

Brigamms was transported to Sonoma County Jail and the two occupants of the vehicle were released.

Police say the vehicle was towed for safekeeping until the rightful owner could arrange to have it picked up.
