Thief Takes Bayside Woman's Card On Pricey Shopping Spree: NYPD

BAY TERRACE, QUEENS -- Police are searching for a man who treated himself to a pricey shopping spree at a Nordstrom Men's Store using a Bayside woman's stolen credit card information.

The 44-year-old woman, who lives in Bay Terrace, learned someone put $1,322 on her credit card in the department store's menswear branch at 235 west 57th Street after she got a call about suspicious charges on May 7, police told Patch.

The woman still had the credit card in question on her when the charges were made, meaning someone likely stole her information and made a clone card, an NYPD spokesman said.

Cops said it was unclear where her information was compromised.

Nordstrom's surveillance footage shows the suspect standing near a cash register in a white polo shirt and dark shorts. Police described him as a 40-year-old man with short black hair who's about 5-foot-10 and weighs roughly 180 pounds.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
