The NYPD is looking for three men who were allegedly involved in a credit card fraud case.

On Friday, Jan. 17, a 51-year-old woman living in the vicinity of Hancock Street and Cypress Avenue in Ridgewood discovered that her late father’s personal information had been used to open a Macy’s department store credit card, cops say.

The three individuals wanted for questioning in the case appeared on surveillance video during the incident.
