Charges after credit cards stolen, used

A 26-year-old Lindsay woman faces charges after police said credit cards from a stolen purse were used in town.

A purse was stolen from a William Street tavern and the credit cards used at a nearby convenience store a short time later on April 13, said City of Kawartha Lakes Police Service.

On Saturday, a second victim reported her purse stolen from the same location, police said.

Like in the first incident, credit cards in the purse were used a short time later.

Later that same morning, police said officers located a suspect on Kent Street West and made an arrest.

Marcie Perry, who was charged with two counts of theft under $5,000, two counts each of possession of stolen property, using a stolen credit card and forgery and a single count of breach of probation, appeared in Lindsay court Monday for a bail hearing.
