6 Saks NYC employees caught binge shopping with customer cards; over $400,000
A crew of Saks Fifth Avenue employees was busted after they charged at least
$400,000 worth of luxury shoes, handbags and other items using customers’ stolen
credit card numbers, authorities said Wednesday. Six workers at the Midtown
fashion Mecca swiped credit card data from 22 customers in a spending spree that
stretched from May until earlier this month, according to a criminal complaint.
Ringleader Tamara Williams, 36, of Queens got the customers’ personal
information from the retailer’s computers and passed it along to five sales
associates at the store, the complaint said. (Source

New
York State Police uncover Philadelphia thieves striking in Albany, NY
New York State Police say they’ve caught a group of Philadelphia criminals who
were striking here in the Capital Region. The theft ring was discovered after a
traffic stop in Clifton Park uncovered stolen property. They arrested
22-year-old Jennell Carr, 21-year-old Kenyatta Miller, 23-year-old James Carter
and 47-year-old Tracey Worley. Police say Carr and Miller would go into retail
locations throughout the area and chat with customers to distract them. That’s
when another member of the group would steal the unsuspecting victim’s wallet
out of her purse. The four were found with a debit card stolen from Joanne
Fabrics in Colonie as well as another woman’s checkbook taken from the Dollar
Tree Store in Clifton Park. They also used a stolen debit card at the Walmart on
Washington Ave. Extension to purchase $800 worth of merchandise.
