Mammoth Police put the cuffs on three women at last week's end – all three face charges that range from stolen credit cards to conspiracy and burglary.

Police Officers reported that two of the women live in Mammoth and the third in Bakersfield. Police allege that all three entered a Mammoth clothing story to try to purchase $600 in merchandise with stolen personal checks and stolen credit card numbers.

Officers said the three suspects only had credit card numbers, not the cards themselves. Store employees called police who arrested 32 year old Anna Marie Montanez of Mammoth at the store. She was charged with possession and attempted use of stolen and altered checks, stolen credit card numbers and stolen identifying information belonging to another person.
