KING OF PRUSSIA, PA–(OiP)-– Approximately two and a half weeks ago, Saturday, Feb. 13, 2010 at 5:03 p.m., the Upper Merion Police Department (UMPD) responded to a report of credit-card fraud at Bloomingdale’s on 660 W. Dekalb Pike.

“Loss Prevention had a man in custody for trying to make a large purchase with a fraudulent credit card. He was accompanied by other subjects who were seen getting into a minivan,” the Police report said.

Only In Philadelphia was the only one at the scene where we witnessed a UMPD Police car turn on his LED strobes and veered into the opposite lane to blockade a Chrysler Minivan. Several other UMPD Police vehicles arrived from all directions, surrounding the car and slowing down traffic significantly around the K.O.P. Court.

The traffic began to get so backed around the King of Prussia Mall that one of the Mall Security officers and more backup officers came to assist.

“As a result of the investigation the subjects were arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia, conspiracy to commit theft by deception, conspiracy to commit credit card fraud, identity theft, forgery, credit card fraud, and tampering with public records,” the UMPD Police report concluded.
