A second woman has been arrested in connection with the theft of a customer’s debit card at an Aberdeen Jersey Mike’s, according to the Aberdeen Police Department.
Tianna Lucky, 31, of Hoffman, was arrested Nov. 3 after investigators identified her as a second suspect in the case.
The investigation began after a customer reported that her debit card was stolen while she was eating at Jersey Mike’s on Sept. 30. The victim later discovered the canceled card had been used or targeted for use at multiple businesses.
The victim provided documentation showing eight attempted or completed transactions involving the card between Sept. 30 and Oct. 2. Investigators reviewed surveillance footage from the restaurant, which showed two unidentified customers taking the card and leaving the business.
On Nov. 3, officers obtained additional information that led them to identify Lucky as the second suspect. Police secured warrants charging her with felony habitual larceny, felony identity theft, felony larceny of a chose in action, attempted felony obtaining property by false pretenses, felony conspiracy, and felony possession of stolen property.
The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office arrested Lucky and transported her to Moore County, where Aberdeen officers took her into custody. She appeared before a Moore County magistrate and received a $50,000 secured bond.
A 32-year-old Hamlet woman, Samantha Isaac, was previously arrested in connection with the investigation. Isaac was charged with identity theft, larceny, and related offenses and was released on a $15,000 secured bond.
All charges are allegations, and both women are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
