Two men in Texas found themselves in legal trouble after being accused of possessing fake identification and more than 30 credit cards believed to be stolen.
According to reports, the Hendersonville Police Department, Metro Nashville Police, Metro Nashville Airport Authority, and additional agencies are working together to investigate a situation involving 32 stolen credit cards. Late in the evening on February 21, the police department received notification from a local Walmart store reporting that two men had attempted to add money to gift cards and tried to use several credit cards to transfer the funds. The loss prevention officers thought it was suspicious when all the cards used during the transactions were declined, and they notified the authorities.
Officers went to the location and arrived before the men left the premises. One of the suspects was stopped when the police saw him walking out of the store, and the other was spotted in an SUV in the parking lot. It was reported that he drove away and forced the officers to chase him a short distance but had to stop when the tires fell off his vehicle. The men allegedly had 32 credit cards believed to be stolen, in addition to 14 gift cards that they suspected were used for siphoning money from the credit accounts.
