Cashier allegedly used photographic memory to steal credit card info from more than 1,000 customers

A Tokyo cashier with a photographic memory was busted when he used his natural ability to rip off credit card information from more than 1,000 customers — and go on a shopping spree, according to a report.

The part-time employee who worked in the Koto neighborhood was arrested Thursday for allegedly using the stolen credit card information to make 270,000 Japanese yen ($2,600) in online purchases, CNN reported.

Sources with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department said the cashier memorized customers’ credit card information while ringing them up at a Koto mall, the outlet reported.

He allegedly then went on the spree back in March, using stolen credit cards from 1,300 customers.

Police discovered the worker had a notebook with the credit card details written down.

The unnamed man remains in police custody, though he hasn’t been charged for the alleged theft, according to CNN.
