Aberdeen Police Chief Brian Chavis announced a warrant was issued for Makayla McGill, 30, of Southern Pines, for her arrest for felony obtaining property by false pretenses.
The investigation began on Nov. 14 when the Aberdeen Police Department received a report of credit card fraud at McDonald’s.
“Through an investigation that included reviewing video surveillance and obtaining witness statements, Aberdeen Patrol Officers identified McGill as the suspect,” said Chavis in a press release. “McGill is accused of executing a fraudulent transaction, resulting in property being obtained by false pretenses.”
