St. Thomas School Custodian Arrested for Fraudulent Use of Co-workers' Credit Cards

Tatiana Thompson, a custodian at an elementary school, allegedly stole credit card information from her co-workers to make online purchases, leading to multiple charges and a court appearance

ST. THOMAS — A woman was arrested after reportedly stealing the credit card information of her co-workers and using it to shop online. According to court documents, an elementary school teacher went to the V.I. Police Department to report that on July 9, she was in her classroom cleaning up after school and that Tatiana Thompson, a custodian at the school, was assisting. The teacher said she went to escort some students to the front of the school, leaving Thompson sitting near her personal belongings.

When she returned to her classroom, the teacher told officers that she could instantly tell someone had been in her bag. She explained that she was meticulous in how she packed things and noticed that her clutch was not in its correct spot inside her backpack. Upon opening her clutch and taking out the wallet inside, she found that one of her credit cards had been removed and replaced in the wrong spot. Busy with students and packing up, the teacher called her mother to ask that she cancel the card with the bank.
