 Wyomissing, PA: Dunkin Donuts Employee stealing credit card info,
part of $14,500 Operation Gucci
A Berks County judge told a Reading woman that if she put as much energy into
lawful activities as she put into a credit-card skimming operation, she would
have never ended up in jail. Anabel L. Sanchez-Marquez, 27, admitted in court
Thursday that she was involved in an operation to make fake credit cards from
information stolen from customers at a Dunkin' Donuts in Wyomissing. Police
later connected the scam to the wide-sweeping Operation Gucci investigation.
Barrett sentenced her to nine months to five years in state prison, followed by
five years of probation. ADA Jason Glessner said the scam lasted from May 2014
until March 10, 2015. Glessner said they would then sell the fake cards to
others for money and other items. The fake cards were used to take more than
$14,500.
