A national crime ring hit home and two players were busted and
charged with stealing credit card information.
Police say Barrie Mohamed and Diello Lamine went to great
lengths to steal credit card numbers.
"They would get your information from your banking account,
then they would make debit cards," Hurricane Police Department Capt. S.J.
Sisk said. “They would take these debit cards to Walmart and different places
and purchase gift cards, then they would send other people back to make
purchases on the gift cards."
More than $10,000 worth of cigarettes, video games and other
electronics were bought with fake debit cards from local stores.
"We uncovered all this stuff in their vehicle and on their
person," Captain Sisk said.
Local business helped police in the investigation.
Police say at least one of the men is an illegal immigrant. They
also say more people are involved, and more arrests are planned in the near
future.
There's no word on what the suspects were doing with the
merchandise.
