Photo Booth Pictures Result In Charges Against Group Of Amateur Credit Card Fraudsters
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/theft/photo-booth-busts-756091Police have charged a quartet of young Maryland residents with stealing a credit card and using it to pay for, among other things, a series of photo booth pictures that eventually helped cops apprehend them.
According to investigators, the group used the plastic earlier this month at a Regal Cinemas theater to pay a total of $57.75 for tickets to the movie “The Purge,†sodas, and popcorn. The group also used the credit card to pay for $15 worth of pictures from a photo booth in the theater’s lobby.
While they might have gotten away with the ticket-soda-popcorn purchases, the amateur fraudsters made the mistake of leaving behind the credit card and a strip of four photos (seen at right). Which made their eventual bust a breeze for the Anne Arundel County Police Department.
Cops have charged James Murrill, 19; Heather Garno, 20; Melissa Vogel, 19; and a 17-year-old girl with credit card theft, making unauthorized charges, and conspiracy.
What a bunch of amateurs! I wonder their DU names are.
