Riverland man sentenced for using stolen credit cards to shop at Bunnings
A 38-year-old man from the Riverland was jailed after courts found he used stolen credit cards, likely sourced from the dark web, to purchase goods from Bunnings.
The Berri Magistrates Court heard that the offender placed click-and-collect orders at three South Australian Bunnings stores over a five-week period. Investigators said the credit cards were probably obtained from the dark web. He received a four-month prison term together with a two-month good-behaviour bond. The case highlights ongoing concerns about online card-theft networks.
Why it matters
The case shows how dark-web card theft can lead to real-world fraud and result in criminal convictions.
