20-year-old Eric Smith
(KAIR)--A financial crime investigation by Atchison Police—going on for more than a month—lands one Atchison man behind bars.
“It centered around the theft of a debit card that belonged to an elderly victim,” said Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson. “It involved multiple times that this debit card was used at various convenience stores, ATMs and even in several other nearby cities—totaling thousands of dollars that was fraudulently used on this card.”
That’s Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson.
He says 20-year-old Eric Smith was taken into custody on Wednesday for the alleged financial crimes. Smith was acquainted with a family member of the elderly victim.
Smith is facing multiple charges of computer crime, criminal use of a financial card and theft.
He was booked into the Atchison County Jail where he remains held on a $10,000 bond.
