My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Jersey
If a credit card was used fraudulently (the physical card itself) to the tune of say $5,000 (at several different stores over the period of several days), the card holder was called by the bank about suspicious activity, card was canceled. The standard fraud forms were sent to the card holder, who signed them, and returned them.
Now several months later the bank calls back up about the fraud. If they now want a police report, does mean they are going to actively investigate or is it merely a formality? If they are going to go get the video from the cameras does this usually mean the store (let's say big chain stores like Walmart, target, or best buy) security people believe they can catch the suspect based on the images from the tape(s)?
Will the local police departments likely bother to investigate and/or arrest/prosecute?
Looking for the best legal assessment of this situation based on these given facts.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks.
