ALPHARETTA, Ga. — An Alpharetta woman reported Feb. 14 that someone had stolen her purse from her car parked in her garage on Greenmont Walk and then used her cards to make fraudulent purchases in Lithonia.
The victim reported she returned home around 4:30 p.m. Feb. 13 and left her purse in the front seat of her vehicle. She said she usually leaves her car unlocked because it is inside a locked garage.
The victim’s husband reportedly returned home shortly after, and he left the garage open. The victim closed the door around 5 p.m.
Around 8:30 p.m., the victim said she received notification for a transaction on her credit card in Lithonia. She then checked the garage and discovered her purse was missing, the report states.
She reported $450 in gift cards, $175 Ray Ban sunglasses and a $295 wallet were inside the purse.
Three of her cards were reportedly used to make more than $600 in unauthorized purchases.
A blue vehicle with a Utah tag was seen driving slowly by the victim’s house around 5 p.m., but no suspects have been identified.
