Identity Thieves Loot More Than $100K,
One Arrest So Far
 LA
PLATA,
Md. - The
Charles County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fraud scheme that began in
December 2006. Charles County Crime Solvers is offering a reward for
information that leads to an arrest or indictment in the case.
The investigation was initiated when several citizens, after receiving a bill
or retailer’s inquiry, discovered fraudulent accounts had been opened in
their names at businesses such as Lowe’s, The Home Depot, Nordstrom, Best
Buy, Circuit City and Sears. The thieves used the victims’ personal
information to open new accounts at the businesses. The accounts were then
used to steal more than one-hundred-thousand dollars worth of merchandise at
the retailers’ stores in Maryland,
Virginia
and Washington, D.C.
During the investigation, detectives discovered the local victims had all
made purchases at Waldorf Ford and Dodge between September and November 2006.
Detectives determined Howard George Embden, 44, of Washington, D.C.,
was one of the suspects involved in the fraud scheme. Embden was previously
employed as a car salesman at the dealership. Police arrested him on Dec. 20, 2006. He was
charged with three counts. He was later released on bond. To view the

Car Salesmen Accused Of Stealing
Customer IDs
 An
investigation uncovered the illegal use of customer information at some big
name Central Florida car dealerships. The report featured Evelyn Gonzales and her
husband Carlos, who went to Central Florida Toyota and purchased a new Yaris
vehicle. However, a few weeks after
bringing the car home, they got a letter from Kissimmee Motor Sports
congratulating them of the purchase of their new Kawasaki, the report said. "Bingo," Evelyn Gonzales said.
"When we opened the credit report, we got it here, we found the
motorcycle in credit report two weeks after we purchased new car."
Gonzales called Casselberry police
after the purchase and investigators from Osceola and Orange counties tracked the purchase of the
motorcycle to David Sanchez -- the man who sold the family the Yaris at
Central Florida Toyota. To view the complete Local6.com
