Biden had somehow lost her wallet on Oct. 25. She found out she’d been scammed when she checked her bank records and learned that her credit card was used that day at a V.I.M. clothing store in Hamilton Heights, officials said. Hercredit card was also used that day at a MetroPCS. There was also a third fraudulent charge on the card, according to a source, reports ThePost’s Elizabeth Rosner, Steven Hirsch and Natalie Musumeci. Surveillan­ce footage captured both suspects — Stephen Flanagan, 28, and Michael Echavarria, 30 — inside the V.I.M store. Flanagan was busted Thursday on charges of grand larceny andcrimina­l possession of stolen property, while Echavarria wasnabbedl­ast weekona charge of criminal possession of stolen property. Flanagan confessed to authoritie­s, according to a Manhattan Criminal Court complaint. Echavarria, according to a criminal complaint, knowingly possessed a stolen credit card, debit card and public benefit card. Over the summer, Joe Biden’s niece Caroline dodged jail time for using a stolen credit card to rack up more than $100,000 in goods at a Greenwich Village pharmacy.
