Aurora, IN: Man accused in $6,000 theft scheme with international ties
Police said the man behind bars is part of a bigger fraud ring that left a
victim out thousands of dollars and more possible victims. A victim from
Kettering, Ohio, noticed $6,000 in transactions he didn't make in Aurora,
Indiana. That's when investigators unraveled a bigger scheme. Abdul Kunetah, 24,
of Ghana, West Africa, is now locked up, accused in the local fraud scheme with
international connections. Investigators said the restaurant supervisor somehow
stole bank information from at least one victim in Kettering. They said he
called the victim's Chase Bank, pretended to be the victim and got a debit card
sent overnight to his Aurora, Indiana, home. Detectives said Kunetah then went
on a $6,000 spending spree. He was seen on surveillance video at Walmart using
the debit card to buy money orders and pre-paid cards.
