A 61-year-old is facing multiple charges after a stolen credit card was used at two businesses downtown.
Around 12:20 p.m. yesterday, a 911 call reported the theft of a bag from a workplace in the 0-100 block of East Street.
The stolen bag contained keys and a wallet, and police say a credit card was used at two businesses in the 200 block of Bay Street.
Security officers found the suspect and took him into custody, police say. Officers with the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service responded to the scene and arrested the individual.
The stolen items were recovered and returned to the victim.
Stephen Richman is charged with:
- theft under $5,000
- possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000
- theft of credit card
- possession of credit card obtained by crime
- unauthorized use of credit card data
He was released on an undertaking and is scheduled back in court on Aug. 26, 2024.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and Richman is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
