A SEAFORD woman allegedly attempted to use stolen credit cards to pay for 50 litres of petrol and various items at an Aspendale Gardens service station.
All were declined.
When the attendant requested she produce her driver’s licence and fill out a form, the woman allegedly handed him a licence with a photograph of an Asian woman, even though she is Caucasian and blonde.
The woman, 31, then left the store and drove off with another woman in what was later found to be a stolen car.
Police traced the licence to a staff member at Karingal Hub who said she reported it stolen to security in September but not police.
The alleged deception offences occurred in August last year.
A woman attended Frankston police station in February and was charged with obtaining property by deception.
She was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 6 April.
