Police Blotter: Credit Card Fraud, Missing Camera

Police are looking into a credit card fraud complaint that was reported Tuesday.

An officer went to the 900 block of Williams Street to respond to a report from a woman who said someone else had used her credit card, said Chief Rick Aro.

Aro said the woman suspected her nanny, who occasionally had access to her credit card to make purchases for her two sons. The woman called the issuer to cancel the card and discovered that about $500 had been charged to it.

Aro said police contacted the nanny, who admitted she had used the card during weeks when she was not working for the woman.

Aro said the suspect, a 20-year-old Fenton resident, said she used the card with the intention of paying the woman back but didn’t have the money and didn’t know what to do.

Police said they would contact the prosecutor about charges in the incident.

Missing camera

A employee reported that her camera was stolen from a mother-son dance, police said.

Aro said police received a call Tuesday about an incident March 11, when the employee reported that she was taking pictures with a Nikon digital camera when she set it on a table for a few minutes, then returned to find it missing.

The camera is valued at $325.

Police have no suspects.
