Credit Card Fraud Investigation with Arrests

In August of 2018, after receiving information from a local

bank, investigators with the Madison Police Department began an

investigation of credit card fraud which had occurred at local

businesses in Madison. Store surveillance video indicated a

male and female were involved in the crimes. Through further

information developed from store surveillance video and local

car rental information, investigators were able to identify one

of the suspects. Investigators obtained an arrest warrant for


Zuleika Soto Rios, age 30, of Orlando, FL for the crime of Use

of Credit Card with Intent to Defraud, a felony.

Last week, investigators were alerted again that additional

occurrences of credit card fraud had occurred at local Madison

businesses. Through information developed from store

surveillance video, investigators were able to identify the Rios

suspect and obtained additional vehicle information for these

crimes.

officers of the Madison Police Department spotted the suspect

vehicle and facilitated a traffic stop. At that time Rios and a

Through further investigation investigators obtained a search

warrant for a storage unit and hotel room in Jackson, MS. With
the assistance of the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office,

investigators recovered cash, spent and current gift cards from
