400 may be victims of credit fraud

As many as 400 people and banking institutions may be victims in a 
credit card or debit card cloning operation, Huntsville police said in a 
news release Wednesday.

The investigation involves hundreds of cases in Alabama and Georgia in 
which the card numbers were stolen after the cards were used at 
Huntsville restaurants and carry-out businesses, police said.

Police investigators and the FBI have surveillance videos from 
businesses in Alabama and the Atlanta area where suspects were seen 
using the card numbers, Huntsville Public Safety Director Rex Reynolds 
said in the release.
