GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - The Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Office says its investigation of fraudulent credit card purchases in the county “continues to broaden.”

On Thursday, the sheriff’s office and Seymour police arrested a man suspected of stealing tires from locations throughout Northeast Wisconsin.

Police also executed a search warrant at his home in Green Bay.

What started as an investigation into fraudulent use of credit cards discovered “this was part of a much larger scale operation,” the sheriff’s office said.

Online court records show Cesar Mendoza Mora, 27, was charged Thursday with receiving stolen property valued between $5,000 and $10,000.

The sheriff’s office expects him to be in court on Monday.
