Man Arrested in Use of Stolen Credit Card
A Thousand Oaks man suspected of trying to purchase goods using a stolen credit card was being held in lieu of $5,000 bail Thursday at the Ventura County Jail, authorities said.
At 10:30 a.m. Thursday, David Walter Caramanis, 25, was waiting for United Parcel Service to deliver two packages at a business in the 700 block of Lakefield Road in Thousand Oaks, Ventura County Sheriff’s Sgt. Dave Paige said.
Authorities were tipped off by a UPS employee that merchandise in the packages was purchased with a stolen credit card, Paige said. Detectives waited until Caramanis made contact with the driver, then arrested him without incident, according to Paige.
Caramanis was being held on suspicion of theft by credit card and accepting stolen property, a jail spokeswoman said.
