This past Sunday, Guam Police Department responded to a walk-in complaint at the Dededo precinct.
According to a magistrate’s report, the female victim claimed that her son, 33-year-old Nicolas Tomas Bamba took her bank card and stole approximately $4,000.
The mother reports that she saw that her son was losing a lot of weight in the past few weeks.
Research shows that sudden weight loss can be a sign of meth use.
The magistrate’s report says that the mother noticed her bank card went missing after she was with her son at a store buying clothes.
The report also adds that the victim went to the bank to report her card missing when she was informed of the multiple transactions in the last few days.
Upon police interview, Bamba admitted to taking the card and withdrawing an unknown amount of money at different ATMs during the month of December.
Bamba adds that the last time he used the card, the atm machine did not return the card, and the thought he was caught.
Allegedly, court documents say that Bamba claims that he used the money for buying methamphetamine.
