Four arrested after woman alerts police that credit card was being used illegally

BELMONT » Two Concord women and an Antioch man were among four arrested in a motel room last week after a Redwood City woman alerted police that her credit card was being used fraudulently, police said.

The call from the woman came on Jan. 3 around 12:45 p.m. after she received a fraud alert from her bank that the card was being used at the Motel 6 on Shoreway Road, police said. When officers responded, they found five people in the motel room, along with hundreds of pieces of stolen mail, several credit cards and a handgun.

Jennifer Felix, 35, and Jordan Anderson, 29, of Concord were arrested, as were 35-year-old Tyler Goforth, of Antioch. Police also arrested Nicole Boyer, 36, a resident of Missouri.

Felix is suspected of theft, possession of burglary tools and possession of a controlled substance, and Anderson had an outstanding arrest warrant for narcotics-related offenses, police said. Goforth was wanted on multiple outstanding warrants for theft, burglary, identity theft and narcotics-related offenses, police said.

They arrested Boyer on suspicion of identity theft, fraudulent use of a credit card and burglary.

All four surrendered without incident after police arrived and were later booked into the San Mateo County Jail.

Police said a 35-year-old Bay Point man also was in the room, but officers interviewed and released him. Police will work to contact the persons associated with the recovered mail, which they say was taken from multiple locations around the Bay Area.
