Arrest for fraudulent use of lost card
National Police arrested a 51-year-old man in Huesca after fraudulently using someone else's credit card to make purchases at a local shop. According to eldiariodehuesca.com, the investigation began on 27 October when the cardholder reported having forgotten his card at a service station and subsequently detected unauthorised charges.
Officers identified the person responsible for the illegal transactions and arrested him on 6 November on suspicion of fraud. National Police emphasise that using a bank card found without the owner's consent constitutes a crime, regardless of the amount of purchases made.
The institution reminds the public that the proper course of action upon finding a card is to hand it in at a police station or to notify the issuing bank. Even small purchases of just a few euros can result in criminal liability and arrest of the perpetrator.
