A woman's been charged with stealing a wallet from a Lake Macquarie sporting complex and going on a spending spree.
A 63-year-old volunteer last week noticed her wallet was missing but didn't cancel her credit card for two days - by then, more than $10,000 worth of purchases had been racked up around Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.
Officers from the Lake Macquarie Target Action Group caught up with the 25-year-old alleged culprit at her home on Nooroo Close, Windale yesterday.
She was taken to Belmont Police Station and charged with 30 counts of fraud, receiving stolen goods, posessing a prohibited drug and breach of bail.
She's been refused bail and is due to appear in Toronto Local Court today.
