Brooklyn Man Wanted on Three Felony Charges in Pocono Township Access Device Fraud Case

POCONO TOWNSHIP, PA — Pocono Township Police say a wallet was stolen from Camelback Lodge on November 5, and the victim’s credit cards were quickly used at several stores in the Crossings outlet mall before officers even arrived on scene.

The investigation spanned multiple agencies and led to Ricardo Mattis, 36, of Brooklyn—now wanted on three felony charges since November 24, 2025, when Magisterial District Judge Daniel Kresge issued an arrest warrant following an investigation by Officer Devin N. Dehart. Mattis remains at large.

According to court records, Mattis is accused of using an access device—a term under Pennsylvania law covering credit cards, debit cards, and electronic fund transfer cards—belonging to another person who never authorized its use.

Mattis is charged with:

  • Access device issued to another who did not authorize use (F3)
  • Theft by unlawful taking – movable property (F3)

Public Assistance Requested
