Westlake Police: Credit Card Thieves Strike

A Parma man’s credit card was taken by a suspect posing as a manager of Dave and Busters on Oct. 12. The impostor offered to give the victim a significant discount on his bill due to perceived poor service and then vamoosed with the credit card.

Shortly thereafter, the victim received texts from his bank that there had been 3 illicit uses or attempts at 2 nearby gas stations. The card was declined at the Westlake Get Go station; a $105 purchase at the Bay Village Speedway (see the pix) was successful.

He is described as a Hispanic male 5’5″, balding, goatee, black glasses and called himself “Anthony.”

Anyone who can ID the faux manager/credit card thief can call Westlake PD at 440.871.3311.

On the evening of Aug. 15, a Westlake man discovered his credit card was either lost or stolen. It was illicitly used in Strongsville and two locations in Avon that same evening for a total of $1439 in purchases.

The Avon Best Buy provided some CCTV footage of a male suspect entering the store.

If anyone can identify the male depicted, please call Westlake PD at 440.871.3311.
