Police are investigating a 64-year-old Millport Avenue woman’s complaint that several credit cards had been fraudulently opened in her name and used at different New York and New Jersey locations.
She was tipped off when a piece of mail arrived in December informing her that she’d opened a charge account with Children’s Place clothing store, according to a police report.
Someone appears to have opened charge accounts and used them there, at a store called Express (where $973 was charged in New Jersey), Kohl’s (where $898 had been charged in Port Chester, N.Y.), and Best Buy in the Bronx (where $1,400) had been charged. Attempts also had been made to use credit cards at a T-Mobile, Gamestop and Victoria’s Secret store, police said.

Police arrested a 58-year-old Wahackme Road man by warrant Jan. 5 after they stopped him for speeding on Ponus Ridge and found out he never responded to a speeding ticket from 2009.
He had been exceeding the 25 mph speed limit at about 9:30 p.m. when police stopped him, according to a police report.
Running his name, police found that he didn’t show up in September 2009 for a speeding ticket he’d received two months earlier, the report said.
He was released on $250 bond and scheduled to appear Jan. 16 in state Superior Court in Norwalk.
