Lake Wales Woman Wanted for Grand Theft After Allegedly Using Stolen CareCredit Card

Date:

Did you know that the medical card CareCredit isn’t just for medical use? Apparently 28 year-old Mackenzie Nicole Brooks did. She utilized a CareCredit card that our victim lost to make fraudulent purchases totaling $929. Over four days, Brooks is seen on security video at various stores to include Publix, Hibachi Express, Dollar Tree, WaWa, Citgo and Rainbow. An arrest warrant for Grand Theft has been obtained for Brooks, who possibly resides in Lake Wales.
The victim lost her wallet containing the CareCredit card along with other bank cards. The bank cards were cancelled, but the CareCredit card was not. (Anyone who has a CareCredit card, please take note that it should also be cancelled should it be lost or stolen.)


Anyone who has information on the whereabouts of Mackenzie Nicole Brooks is asked to contact Detective Heuer at 863-271-6784.
