A Frackville man has been charged following an investigation into a stolen wallet and multiple unauthorized credit card transactions, according to Frackville Police.
Leonardo Carrasco III, 25, of Frackville, has been charged in connection with an incident reported on December 22, 2025.
Police say officers were dispatched to a residence on North Balliet Street to speak with the victim, who reported that she had lost her wallet. According to the affidavit of probable cause, the wallet contained $323 in U.S. currency, two credit cards, and personal identification.
The victim told officers that after realizing her wallet was missing, she reviewed her credit card mobile application and discovered three unauthorized transactions. The charges were reportedly made at Anthony’s Pizza, Exxon Mobil, and a local beer distributor known as The Quart House.
Investigators obtained receipts from the businesses that matched the unauthorized transactions. At The Quart House, officers spoke with an employee that remembered the individual who made a purchase using the card and said recognized him as someone seen frequently. The cashier indicated the individual lived near South Lehigh Avenue.
Police conducted follow-up investigation and obtained photograph identifications of potential individuals. The employee positively identified Leonardo Carrasco as the person who made a $2.75 purchase at The Quart House using the victim’s credit card.
Additionally, police say Carrasco was observed on surveillance footage at Exxon Mobil and Anthony’s Pizza wearing the same clothing while making purchases with the same stolen credit card during the same time frame.
Based on the investigation, police allege Carrasco unlawfully took and retained the victim’s wallet and used her credit cards without authorization.

- Theft by Unlawful Taking – Movable Property (M1)
- Theft of Property Lost, Mislaid, or Delivered by Mistake (M1)
- Receiving Stolen Property (M1)
- Three counts of Access Device Issued to Another Who Did Not Authorize Use (M2)
