A man was arrested after using forged and stolen credit cards to make purchases in a luxury department store on Madison Avenue. At 3:27 PM on Sunday, July 28, a 22-year-old man used the suspect cards in three different transactions. He tried to make two additional transactions but was declined. He left the store and got into a yellow cab, at which point he was apprehended and found in possession of two forged cards and two stolen cards. He was then arrested and charged with grand larceny. The items he purchased illegally included an XXL size En Noir leather outer valued at $3,900, En Noir 12 trousers in XXL size valued at $1,400, a black Givenchy knit in extra large size worth $1,100, plus other knits, leather goods, and trousers totaling an XXL $10,380.
