An employee at a Florida nail salon is facing felony charges for allegedly admitting to the authorities that she stole and used a client’s credit card after she saw an online post they made about the situation.
In early August, a woman visited the Palm Nails salon in Palm Coast. A few days later, she realized her credit card was missing, and she believed the salon was the last place she had used it. She reported that she learned someone had used the card multiple times since the day she was at the salon, and the amount used was estimated to be over $500. She notified the authorities about the alleged theft and fraud, and the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office began investigating the situation.
When they traced the purchases, they learned that the card had been used at merchants and restaurants, and they visited the establishments to see if the individual was visible in surveillance footage. They reported seeing the same woman in more than one video and believed she was the one who used the card, but the footage quality was insufficient to positively identify the person.
