Dave & Buster’s patron used fraudulent credit card, police say
A Brooklyn man was arrested after he used a fraudulent credit card to make purchases at a Dave & Buster’s restaurant in Westbury on Saturday, police said.
A store employee realized the credit card was a fake and reported it, leading to the arrest of Giovonni Dansicar, 22, of Berriman Street, by Third Precinct officers, Nassau County police crimes against property squad detectives said.
After Dansicar used the card to make purchases at the restaurant on Old Country Road, the employee reported it — and Third Precinct officers responded, making the arrest at about 9 p.m., police said Monday in a news release.
At that time Dansicar was found to be in possession of three additional fraudulent cards, police said.
Dansicar was charged with four counts of second-degree possession of a forged instrument. He is scheduled for arraignment Monday in First District Court in Hempstead.
