The suspects “hijacked the victim’s identity” and reported the victim’s credit card lost or stolen. The suspects stole the replacement credit card from the victim’s front porch when it was delivered, according to a department release.

After the suspects activated the new card, they used it on a “shopping spree” at GameStop locations in Lawrenceville, Duluth and Snellville, police said. Images of the two young female suspects were obtained from store surveillance video.

Anyone with information related to this case should contact Lawrenceville police at 770-963-2443.
