COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Credit card information from customers of more
than 100 DSW Shoe Warehouse stores was stolen from a company
computer's database over the last three months, a lawyer for the
national chain said Tuesday.

The company discovered the theft of credit card and personal shopping
information on Friday and reported it to federal authorities, said
Julie Davis, general counsel for the chain's parent, Retail Ventures
Inc. The Secret Service is investigating, she said.

DSW was alerted by a credit card company that noticed suspicious
activity, she said.

Customers should check their credit card statements and report any
irregularities, Davis said. She did not know how many customers might
be affected.
