Credit Card Thief Poses as Delivery Driver

Austin police are seeking public assistance to identify a woman involved in credit card fraud cases that have affected both Austin and Dallas. The suspect allegedly posed as a food delivery person on June 15 at an office park in Dallas, stealing credit cards from a victim's purse. These stolen cards were later used at Dallas-area retailers.

This Dallas incident shares striking similarities with a previous case in Austin on February 2, 2026. In the earlier incident, a masked woman stole credit cards from an employees-only breakroom at a business on Far West Boulevard. The stolen cards were subsequently used for gift card purchases at Austin-area stores.

Investigators noted that the suspect's attire and tattoos in the Dallas tip matched those from the Austin case. The suspect is described as a Black woman, heavy-built, approximately 5-foot-10 and weighing around 250 pounds, and was last seen driving a black Volkswagen Atlas SEL R-Line in the Dallas area. No arrests have been made, and detectives continue to appeal for information.

For victims of card theft, reporting the loss immediately to the card issuer is crucial. Federal regulations can limit liability for unauthorized charges, but prompt action is key. Employers are also advised to enhance security in staff areas and train employees to verify unexpected delivery claims.
