Man calls 911 to report clerk refusing to return his stolen credit card.

[Wonk]

The investigation began when Michael Broome, 20, of Vista called 911 on his cell phone about 8 p.m. Friday. Broome complained that clerks at the Fry's Electronics store in San Marcos were refusing to return his credit cards, according to the Sheriff's Department.

When a deputy arrived, he learned that the clerks refused to return the cards because one had been reported stolen. While both cards bore Broome's name, the information on the magnetic strip listed someone else's name, the Sheriff's Department said.

Blanco said the identity theft operation used fraudulent Web sites to trick customers into giving out their credit card numbers.
