The two women moved fairly quickly as they left the Target store with about $8,500 worth of gift cards. The problem: The gift cards were purchased with credit cards belonging to someone else, Montgomery County police say.

Authorities said the incident occurred on Dec. 5. A 39-year-old woman was eating dinner at a restaurant in the White Flint area when she got a series of text messages and phone calls from her credit card companies, alerting her to several large purchases being made on her cards. One purchase was for $4,000 on a Visa card, another was for $4,000 on an American Express and another for $530 to a MasterCard.

The woman looked in her purse and realized her wallet was missing.

can you normally even buy gift cards with a cc? what's stopping someone from buying 8k in giftcards then charging back claiming their wallet was stolen?

The card numbers are documented. Target should cancel the cards. The victims are not responsible for unauthorized charges on their stolen credit cards. Law enforcement catches the 2 thieves.
