Queens, NY - Identity Theft At Radio Shack By Employees

Queens, NY - Three former employees of a Radio Shack store in Queens have been charged with stealing the identities of 21 people and making $23,000 in electronic purchases. 

The three people worked for the Radio Shack store in Maspeth, Queens, the victims whose identities were stolen live in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, many live in the Bronx. The district attorney said many of the victims did not learn that credit cards had been taken out in their name until Radio Shack went after them for being delinquent in making payments. He said more arrests are expected.
The defendants have been charged with identity theft, grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, forgery, criminal possession of a forged instrument, scheme to defraud, falsifying business records and unlawful possession of personal identification. If convicted, they each face up to seven years in prison.

The district attorney said Radio Shack has reversed all the charges on the 21 fraudulent accounts
