Petaluma police Tuesday arrested an Oakland woman suspected of stealing a car she’d rented with a stolen credit card.
Oakland police contacted Petaluma Tuesday to report a car stolen there may be parked at Petaluma’s Factory Outlets mall. The vehicle, which had been rented through an online site, was equipped with a GPS device allowing Oakland police to track it once the theft was reported, according to a Petaluma police news release.
Petaluma officers found the car and three women. Two were released but officers detained driver Daynisha Brigamms, 27.
Brigamms was wanted on two arrest warrants in other counties involving suspected theft, police said. They took her into custody on the warrants as well as two felonies, car theft and receiving a stolen car, according to Sonoma County jail records. Officers also reported they found 22 credit cards in the vehicle, evidence someone was making fake credit cards.
Brigamms remained in custody Wednesday morning, held without bail due to the warrants.
The vehicle was towed and will be collected by the owner, police said.
