North Las Vegas Police Officer Arrested for Credit Card Fraud

Yesterday, North Las Vegas police officer Benjamin Cordova was arrested and taken to the North Las Vegas Jail for three felony counts of credit card fraud and three felony counts of receiving property obtained by unlawful use of a credit card.

Prior to his booking at the North Las Vegas Jail, North Las Vegas detectives conducted a week-long criminal investigation following internal complaints about a department credit card that had gone missing. According to the criminal complaint, Cordova allegedly used the credit card to make personal purchases on three or more different occasions.

Cordova, who has been with the North Las Vegas police department for six years, is now on administrative leave.
