Sandy Springs Police are investigating claims that a restaurant employee stole a customer's credit card and went on a spending spree.
 
Autumn Lingle used her credit card at Evos, a hamburger restaurant in the Prado Shopping Center on Roswell Road.
 
"By Monday, I noticed my credit card was missing and this was the last place I’d actually used it," she said.
 
Lingle said when she checked her online statement, she noticed $4,000 in fraudulent charges at a Dillards and Express for Men at Perimeter Mall in Dunwoody.
 
”I was just outraged, she said.  "I can’t believe someone would spend that kind of money at the expense of another person.

Lingle told Petchenik that on the same day she discovered the bogus charges from the mall, she also noticed another charge at the restaurant where she'd lost it.
 
According to a police report obtained by Petchenik, detectives reviewed surveillance video of the transaction and saw a store employee using Lingle's card.
 
"You really can’t trust people anymore," she said.  "It’s sad, but that’s the reality.
 
A store manager told Petchenik when he leaed of the alleged theft, he immediately fired the employee.  Police told Petchenik they are still investigating and haven't charged the employee for it.
 
Lingle has a waing for other credit card users, "Be very careful.  Always be aware of where your credit cards are and always be aware of your transactions online.
