CREDIT CARD FRAUD

G*****, MS –On the morning of December 2, 2024, at around 1:07 AM, an unidentified individual stole an unopened envelope containing a Lowe's credit card from the mailbox of a residence in Jackson County while the homeowner was away.

The following day, December 3, 2024, at 2:37 PM, a woman, as shown in the picture, made a purchase using the stolen credit card at Lowe's in Gautier.

If anyone has information about this incident or can identify the suspects, please contact the Criminal Investigations Division at 228-497-**** or Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-877-787-****.

They also posted a picture of her in the store. The credit card she used was her own that was activated in the store since hers old one was expired. It was not a new account just an expired card with her name on it obviously. She left the item in the store for her boyfriend to pick up in his truck and they wouldn't release it because between the time she left and the time he arrived something was coming back as fraudulent. While he's still in the store she calls the credit card company and they tell her there is no problem on their end and they refund the charge. All of this can be seen on her side since it's her credit card and she has access to the card info on her phone and a receipt matching her card for the purchase. She wants to take legal action against lowes. What are her options?
