ATLANTIC CITY — On Saturday, Atlantic City Police arrested 26-year-old Gerry Rodriquez for credit card fraud.
Police first responded to a dispute at Marriott Hotel on 1212 Pacific Avenue. At the scene, one of the officers recognized a male involved in the dispute. Rodriquez from Roosevelt, N.Y., resembled a wanted flier issued nearly three weeks ago for a credit card fraud case. Rodriquez was immediately taken into custody for investigation.

On July 18th, at A Time for Wine store in the Tropicana Hotel and Casino, two thousands dollars worth of wine and alcohol was charged to a Visa credit card. First, the credit card was declined, but Rodriquez asked the store owner, Ms. Janet Markowitz, to manually enter the credit card numbers for the transaction to work.
Markowitz later called Visa to confirm the transaction and learned that the card was fraudulent and reported the incident to the Atlantic City Police.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Atlantic City Police Department Criminal Investigations Unit at 609-347-5766. Information can be called in anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 652-1234.
