Police synopsis: Caernarvon police gave the following account: Three unidentified males were involved in a series of scams at the Walmart store near Morgantown. Two of them completed a series of transactions with a sales associate. Each time they appeared to instruct her to use the “cash” function on the register, typing in the amount, while they imitated using a payment card at the card reader (the card was never fully inserted or swiped). They purchased gift cards, gaming platforms and a video game totaling about $2,500. The people of interest in this case arrived and departed in a dark-colored sedan of unknown make/model.
Anyone with information on these individuals is asked to submit an anonymous tip to Crime Alert or contact Caernarvon Detective Cpl. Eberly at 610-286-1012 ext. 122 or ceberly@caernarvon.org.
