Secret Witness offers reward for ATM fraud

Douglas County Secret Witness is offering a $250 reward for information regarding an incident of obtaining money by false pretenses through fraudulent use of a debit card.

The incident occurred at the Carson City Walmart off Topsy Lane in north Douglas County, on July 26, at approximately 7:41 p.m., according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

Two unidentified men reportedly used an automated teller machine to purchase two $500 money orders with the victim's debit card.

The two men were photographed by a surveillance camera located inside the ATM machine.

The victim reported that he still had his debit card, so it was likely a counterfeit card was used by the suspects, the sheriff's office reported.

Anyone with information regarding this incident, or knowing the identity of either suspect, is asked to call Douglas County Secret Witness at telephone number: (775) 782-7463, (775) 586-7295, or Deputy Bret Hicks at (775) 782-5126.

Secret Witness guarantees the caller's anonymity. Payment will be made in any manner that the caller prefers.
