Boardman police investigating theft involving Visa cards

BOARDMAN — Police are investigating a theft in which someone stole $2,000 worth of Visa gift cards from a convenience store. 

An employee at Speedway, 649 E. Midlothian Blvd., reported to police two male suspects entered the store in November and each selected five $200 Visa gift cards. 

The men then paid for the gift cards with MasterCard credit cards, according to a police report. 

A district manager later told the employee the credit cards were Canadian and that the transactions failed, leaving the store $2,000 short. 

The manager also reported five other Speedways were victims of similar incidents.
