Police are investigating after a thief targeted an elderly woman in Kingaroy last week.<\/p>\n

The 80-year-old woman, who lives in Doonkuna Street, received a phone call that told her the “chip” in her bank card needed to be replaced.<\/p>\n

Officer-in-charge of Kingaroy Police, Senior Sergeant Dave Tierney, said that a short time later a man – aged 25-30 – arrived at the woman’s house and took the card, saying he would return it the next day.<\/p>\n

The thief subsequently tried to use the card in Brisbane the following day to buy jewellery but the transaction was declined.<\/p>\n

Investigations are continuing.<\/p>\n
