Just prior to noon on Wednesday, Jan. 24, a dark-complexioned black male walked to the mobile phone area of the Best Buy store in Colonial Heights.  He presented identification as if he was a customer from out of state, and used that identification to make changes to a victim’s account.  Eventually, he had shut down a real customer’s account and walked away from the store with a brand new iPhone X.
