The Cheboygan County Sheriff’s Department says three party stores within the county have been victims of fraudulent credit card purchases over the past two weeks.
According to the sheriff’s department, two men have entered party stores and purchased a bundle of scratch-off lottery tickets. The bundles range in price from $3,600 to $5,000.
Within a day or two, the stores then find out that the credit card used to make the purchase was stolen. The last stolen purchase occurred on Monday, Dec. 6.
The sheriff’s department is working with other jurisdictions and reaching out across the state to see if there have been any other similar crimes.
