Two Westlake Residents Victims of Bank-Related Crimes
The following information was provided by the Westlake Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.
A Chestnut Drive woman received emails on Oct. 31 confirming purchases from two retailers she doesn't shop at.
Looking into the matter, she found that both of the purchases had been made using a Visa card account that she doesn't have.
The woman then contacted the bank that issued the card. The bank cancelled the card. She also contacted Westlake Police. There are no suspects at this time.
About $2,500, plus ATM fees, were withdrawn from the bank account belonging to a Remington Circle man between Oct. 18 and 25. The withdrawls were made in Kent, Salem, Alliance and Youngstown.
The man told Westlake Police he'd had his debit card in his possession during that time. The investigation continues, but there are no suspects.
