Cops: Thieves go on perfume spree with stolen credit cards

Cherokee County sheriff’s deputies are looking for a pair of suspects alleged to have used stolen credit cards to purchase nearly $2,000 worth of make-up and perfume.

Sheriff’s office spokesman Jay Baker said the two suspects were captured on surveillance video using the stolen cards at Alpharetta’s North Point Mall. Investigators believe the credit cards were pilfered from a car parked at Badger Creek Soccer Complex near Holly Springs on Nov. 11 — the same day the purchases were made at Macy’s, Dillard’s and J.C. Penney.

Anyone with information about the suspects is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 770-928-0239.
