Description

Elements of credit card theft. Provides that a person who possesses a credit card of another, when he took, obtained or withheld from another person, possession, custody or control of the card without the cardholder's consent, is guilty of credit card theft. This punishes possession of a stolen credit card as theft of a credit card and responds to the holding in Meeks v. Commonwealth, Record No. 062452, (Virginia Supreme Court, Nov. 2, 2007) in which it was held that a person who took a credit card in Fairfax County could not be prosecuted for credit card theft in Arlington.
