Tammy Marie Longinetti, 48, used one of the credit cards, stolen from a Closter man, at the Stop & Shop in Emerson, the Kmart in Closter and a CVS in Old Tappan, authorities allege.

The other, they said, was used at a Wood-Ridge dollar store after being taken from a borough woman,.

Longinetti also wrote a dozen checks worth nearly $1,400 from the Northvale man’s stolen checkbook over a 10-day span last summer in Northvale, Norwood, Palisades Park, Park Ridge, Rochelle Park and Secaucus, an indictment returned in Hackensack last week charges.

The amounts ranged from $53 to $240, it says.

Longinetti — also known as Tammy Finocchiaro — remained held without bail in the Bergen County Jail this morning while she awaits an April 10 hearing for violating a pair of five-year probations that stemmed from two prior guilty pleas.

One involved a burglary and the other forgery, both in 2013.

She also had two other arrests that were downgraded to the municipal level — one for theft and the other for assault, records show.

In addition to last week’s indictment, two others were returned against Longinetti last Dec. 5 and 17 in connection with the Closter and Wood-Ridge credit card thefts.
