| NEWS RELEASE | |||
| SUBJECT: | Detectives Attempting to Identify Cloned Debit Card Suspect | ||
| DATE: | September 25, 2017 | ||
| CASE #: | 17-023556 | ||
| GENERAL NARRATIVE | |||
| On August 29, 2017 a black male suspect made a fraudulent debit card transaction for a purchase of nearly $200 at the Roadrunner Market, located at 1312 South John B. Dennis Highway in Kingsport. At the time of the transaction, the actual original card was still in the possession of the victim, so this is evidently another case involving the cloning of a debit card.
The suspect was captured on video inside the store during the transaction, as well as while leaving the store and getting into a black sport utility vehicle. Photos, taken from that footage, of both the suspect and the vehicle have been included in this release. Two clips from that video have also been made available for viewing on the K.P.D. YouTube channel via the links below: Anyone who recognizes this man or the black SUV is asked to contact Detectives in the K.P.D. Criminal Investigations Division by calling 423-229-9429 or call Kingsport Central Dispatch at 423-246-9111. Alternatively, if an individual who is able to supply information related to this or any other case wishes not to be identified, tips can be submitted anonymously via online “Citizen Feedback” forms available at the following link: https://www.kingsporttn.gov/city-services/police-department/contact-us |
