Elk Grove Retailer Targeted Second Time in a Week By Credit Card Crooks

March 30, 2015 |

For the second time in the last week, a suspect from Stockton has targeted an Elk Grove retailer by using stolen credit cards for an online purchase.

Celina Marie Donatelli.

According to Elk Grove Police, 37-year old Celina Marie Donatelli of Stockton allegedly purchased goods online on Friday with a stolen credit card from Toys R Us. After Donatelli picked-up the merchandise at the Bond Road store and was driving away from, responding officers located her vehicle and conducted a stop.

The owner of the credit card in Donatelli's possession used for the purchase was contacted and indicated that he did not know the suspect, and did not give her permission to make the purchases. Donatelli was also found to be in possession of credit cards belonging to other individuals.  

Donatelli was arrested and remains in custody ineligible for bail on three felony charges from this incident and an outstanding felony warrant from San Joaquin County. The suspect is scheduled for arraignment on Wednesday.

Last Sunday two suspects from Stockton were arrested after they attempted to pick up merchandise they purchased online with stolen credit cards. Those suspects, 38-yer old Michael Henderson and 32-year old Alvina Leon, remain in custody pending further legal proceedings.
