Authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man accused of stealing a credit card in Newark and using it to make online purchases, officials said.
According to Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda, the incident happened on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at approximately 10:11 a.m. inside The Print Post, a commercial printer located in the 200 block of Chestnut Street.
Police said the victim had just completed a transaction and received his receipt but realized his credit card was missing.
While he was waiting to speak with the cashier, surveillance video showed a man taking the card from the counter.
Investigators said the suspect later used the stolen card to make two purchases totaling $251.98 — one with Nike.com and another with FRG*Fanatics.com, a sports merchandise retailer.
Director Miranda urged anyone with information about the suspect to call the Newark Police Division’s 24-hour Crime Stopper tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS (695-8477).
All tips will remain confidential.
