GENERAL NARRATIVE | |||
Kingsport Police Detectives are investigating several instances where fraudulent purchases have been made at various local business using what appears to be cloned copies of actual debit cards. In each instance, the original debit card was still in the victim’s possession at the time the fraudulent transaction was completed.
Two white male adult suspects were captured on surveillance video during the completion of one of these transactions. A photo, taken from this footage, has been included in this release, while a short clip of the actual video has also been made available for viewing on the K.P.D.
