Arrested The Oakland
California-based thieves used the fake traveler’s checks to
purchase merchandise in North Texas, and then exchange them
for cash in California. More than two dozen stores in North
Texas have been hit, and investigators say the criminals
have gotten away with about $100,000 in merchandise. Eight
other arrests have been made across the nation, and more are
expected to be made. The suspects’ names and mugshots are
not yet public, but the suspects vary in age from 26 to 19.
