Strongsville Credit Cards Being Used at Target in California

At least four Strongsville residents have reported incidents of identity theft in which their credit or debit cards have been used at a store in California.

Residents on Westwood Drive and Colleen Court reported the thefts on May 28, and a Hunt Road resident reported the same thing on May 29. Detective Lt. John Janowski said a Prospect Road woman also reported that someone charged nearly $600 on her card at Target in California.

At least two of the cases appear to involve Century Federal Credit Union. One of the victims told police he learned there had been a breach in the computer system.

A representative from Century Federal did not return a phone call to Strongsville Patch.

One resident found two transactions for $324 each on his credit card; another found charges for $200 and $212 on his debit card; another found a $300 credit card transaction.

It appears several of the transactions were made on May 27.
