The victim told police that she left her purse unattended while with her family at the restaurant and arcade at the South Shore Plaza. She located her missing wallet but a Visa card was missing, Chief Russell Jenkins said in a statement.
When the woman called her bank, she discovered the card had recently been used at Dave & Buster's. Management there looked through video footage and transaction receipts and identified Julio C. German, who was arrested on Sunday, Feb. 17.
