Debit Card Racks Up Unauthorized Debits

A 23-year-old South Boston resident whose mother mailed him a bank automated teller machine debit card from the family home in Norfolk found that someone stole it and ran up about $3,300 in unau­thorized charges on it, police said.

Charges showed up in Haver­hill, Dorchester, Saugus, South Bos­ton, Boston, Braintree, Lowell, and Quincy, said Norfolk Police Lieuten­ant Jon Carroll. Norfolk police took a report of the credit card fraud at 10:41 a.m. Saturday, February 20.
