Credit card stolen from student through mail

An NU student reported a missing credit card Sunday afternoon, police said.

Last week, the student’s mother mailed his debit card along with the PIN number to the student’s on-campus residence, McAleer said. However, the student, who lives in the Sigma Chi fraternity house, 2249 Sheridan Rd., never received the card in the mail. He later received a debit card statement which included two unauthorized charges completed in Evanston totaling more than $500, McAleer said.

The incident remains under investigation.
