HOBOKEN AND BEYOND — Hoboken police said that last week, a 37-year-old woman was charged with identify theft and fraudulent use of a credit card after police tracked her to a local nail salon where the card was in use.
The events started after the owner of the credit card called her bank to tell them her card was missing. The bank told her the card had been used at a nearby food store and was in use at that moment in a nail salon on the 300 block of Jackson Street.
The victim called police and officers were dispatched.
After they reviewed surveillance footage at the food store, they identified the woman on the tape as the same woman currently being serviced at the nail salon, according to police.
The salon client allegedly had the card in her possession, as well as a Greyhound bus ticket valued at $70 in the name of the alleged victim. Police say she also had a bag containing two packs of Newport cigarettes, Parliament cigarettes, deodorant, a lighter, a Snapple Raspberry Iced Tea, and…Trojan Magnum condoms.
