The Goldsboro Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying two women accused of opening lines of credit in another person's name at stores and purchasing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.

Maj. Anthony Carmon, head of the Goldsboro Police Department's Investigative Services Bureau, said the women have hit stores across eastern North Carolina, including stores in Goldsboro and Greenville.

According to a press release, the women have stolen someone's identity and used it to open lines of credit in that person's name at numerous department and retail stores. Then, the women used those lines of credit to purchase several thousand dollars worth of merchandise from those stores.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact Inv. Goins with GPD at 919-580-4203, or Crime Stoppers at 919-735-2255, or submit information at tipsubmit.com.

Callers can remain anonymous and information leading to a felony arrest will be eligible for a cash reward.
