Wyckoff Postal Clerk Charged with Stealing Customer's Credit Card

A Wyckoff postal clerk is accused of stealing a patron's credit card and attempting to go on a shopping spree at a local store, police said. 

Dafnea Carroll, a clerk at the U.S. Post Office on Greenwood Avenue, was charged July 13 with credit card theft and fraudulent use of a credit card after an investigation by Wyckoff police and the U.S. Postal Inspectors, police said. 

Carroll, a 41-year-old Newark resident, allegedly stole the credit card after it was left behind by a patron at the post office, and then attempted to use the card to purchase gift cards at an unnamed Wyckoff business, according to police.

But the sale didn't go through - Carroll could not provide the sales clerk with the right zip code, police said. 

Carroll was released on her own recognizance.
