A 35-year-old woman with a police record for similar events has been investigated for fraud, for having charged purchases worth almost 4,000 euros using the numbering of two bank cards that were not her property. The victim, a man of foreign nationality but residing on the island, reported the crime at the end of August at the Civil Guard post in Yaiza, who took charge of the investigation.
The man reported that between July 2 and August 19 someone had made different charges to his bank account, which amounted to a total of 3,918 euros. The purchases had been made over the internet and, according to the agents, included luxury products, such as jewelry and trips.
According to the Civil Guard, the victim "also told the agents about the nightlife businesses in which someone could have copied the numbering of his two cards, specifically unaware of where and how they did it."
As a result of the investigation and after obtaining information through the shops, they managed to identify the alleged perpetrator, with the initials A.Y.G, being available to the Arrecife Duty Court for a crime of fraud.
