"Crestsmile" nic - husband wife ORC team selling $70K
to $140K a month online busted. "One of the largest fencing
operations for shoplifted goods in Portland" according
to Rick Whidden, Safeway's director of loss prevention -
couple pleads not-guilty.
They would meet shoplifters in parking
lots in Portland and Vancouver to buy bags of stolen
merchandise at half or less than half retail value.
Then, they'd stash the goods in the trunk of their Lexus
and return home to advertise them on eBay, usually
within a day of purchase, investigators said. When the
couple was arrested this spring, Clark County detectives
seized over a quarter of a million dollars worth of
stolen merchandise from their Vancouver home. One room
in the home resembled a pharmacy, with the household
products stacked in boxes and on shelves from floor to
ceiling. The husband and wife aren't allowed to live
with each other, and are restricted from Internet access
as they await trial. (Source oregonlive.com)
Identity theft ring identified operating in Central
California The Madera
County Sheriff’s office believes a stolen credit card
used to rent a room in Oakhurst may be connected to an
identity theft ring operating in Central California. The
Sheriff’s Office believes there may be as many as half a
dozen suspects connected to this case, one of whom is
believed to be: 31-year-old Corey James Smith, (AKA
Corey James Sahagian-Smith) of Fresno. So far detectives
have uncovered more than two dozen victims – many of
whom either live or work in Fresno County. If anyone has
information about this case, they are urged to call
either the Madera County Sheriff’s Office at
559-675-7770 or CrimeStoppers at 498-STOP. An anonymous
tip to CrimeStoppers that leads to the apprehension of
these suspects could be worth up to $1,000.
