PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office (SLCSO) said that on October 18, a shopper at the Wawa Gas Station on SE Prima Vista Boulevard thought he was having a lucky day when he took two 24-packs of Corona beer, allegedly using a stolen credit card. <\/p>\n
According to SLCSO, they later identified the suspect as 57-year-old Carlos Alberto Becquer Estepe from Port St. Lucie. <\/p>\n
Days later, on October 29, around 1:20 a.m., a deputy reported finding Estepe’s white cargo van parked outside his home and arrested him without incident. <\/p>\n

Instead of returning the wallet, he allegedly used two of the credit cards at local gas stations, including Wawa and Sunoco. <\/p>\n Estepe now faces two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card and is currently being held in the St. Lucie County Jail. This incident serves as a reminder that while dishonesty may seem tempting, it can lead to serious consequences.<\/p>\n Find more ways to stay up to date with your latest local news.
