Two year cross-country fraud ring investigation nets 17
arrests in Florida for a half a million $$$$$
Fake IDs and fake bank accounts lead investigators to 17
people for stealing checks and information from innocent
people and stealing upwards of $500,000 over three
years. Targeting big box stores, including Albertsons,
Publix and Sam's Club the defendants used the checks,
along with counterfeit driver’s licenses and
identification cards to buy merchandise. They’d then
return it for cash or gift cards. Investigators say this
was an organized scheme that was traced from among
Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola and Volusia counties.
