PEEKSKILL, N.Y. Nov.8 2007 - A female clerk at a Peekskill Radio Shack store and a civilian employee for the NYPD have been arrested for allegedly running an identity-theft ring that victimized 10 New York City police officers. Peekskill Detective Sergeant Eric Johansen says the officers worked for a Bronx housing unit. Their personal information was used to acquire credits cards at the Radio Shack. The cards were then used to buy $10,000 high-end items at the store, including televisions, cell phones and digital cameras, that was then resold.
Police have charged the store clerk, 19-year-old Candace Johnson-Davis of Yonkers with grand larceny. The NYPD employee – 20-year-old Laquaja Price of the Bronx – is charged with identity theft and grand larceny.
Police say three others face charges of identity theft, grand larceny and possessing stolen property.
