Police warn debit-card thefts hitting Marble Falls

MARBLE FALLS — A rash of cases involving debit-card numbers stolen from residents  whose bank accounts start shrinking has police sounding a warning.

Even a law officer has become a victim.

“Since Friday (Jan. 20), we’ve had several reports of debit card numbers being used without the owners’ permission or knowledge. And one of them was mine,” said police Capt. Glenn Hanson. “The cards were from different banks. Two of the numbers were used in Florida and one was used outside the United States.”
