Suspects Steal Mail......Use Debit Card

Detectives are turning to the public in the hopes of identifying a pair of likely mail thieves who used a stolen debit card in several area cities.

The two suspects hit the mother-lode when they stole mail which included a brand new debit card and PIN.

The stolen card was subsequently used in Federal Way, Tacoma, Tukwila, and Puyallup.

The fraud was discovered recently when unknown charges popped up on the victim’s new debit card account. The bank had supposedly mailed the card and PIN in separate envelopes, but both appeared to have been stolen from the mail.

The victim is a resident of SeaTac, and the loss is several thousand dollars.

If knows who the suspects might be, they are asked to call the King County Sheriff's Office at (206) 296-3311 (24 hours) or 9-1-1.
