Several Nelson businesses have been ripped off to the tune of more than $10,000.
Nelson police say a man bought several high-value items using stolen pre-paid credit cards last week.
They say they have a suspect and are continuing to investigate the scope of the losses. No charges have been laid yet
Sgt. Nate Holt said business owners should “maintain the level of vigilance they normally do during high value purchases. In the event that there is doubt when dealing with suspicious transactions Nelson Police are always available as a resource to contact for information on criminal fraud.”
