Three arrested in oxford with fraudulent gift cards

Oxford Police bust three people trying to scam a store.  Police say  the trio purchased more than $300 worth of cigarettes using re-encoded gift cards. This means the numbers embossed on the front of the gift cards did not match the account number on the card's magnetic strip.
When the clerk at Charlie's Tobacco Outlet realized one of the cards was stolen, the suspects took off with the cigarettes.  Police caught up with the suspects and found about 45 cloned gift cards inside the vehicle. 
34 year old Aboubaker Doumbia, of Atlanta, 31 year old Shaquandra Alford, of Atlanta, and 26 year old Chiquta Roundtree, of Atlanta, were all charged with possession of a forged instrument second degree.
They are being held on bonds of $100,000 each .
