Redding police are urging residents to be vigilant this holiday season. Police report that a resident was charged for purchases made in Texas by someone else at the start of the month. A different Redding resident had a credit card opened in their name.
Chief Douglas Fuchs told the Redding Pilot that the credit card case from last Friday involved a person opening a card in someone else's name at the Danbury Fair Mall and making $1,000 worth of purchases.
Police urged residents to have packages delivered to their office, or at a time when someone is home.
