Polisen i Chicago har gripit en liga på minst sex personer som gjort inköp i Apple-butiker med hjälp av stulna identiteter och falska kreditkort.
Ligan hyrde en bil och körde sedan runt till olika Apple-butiker i Chicago och gjorde inköp med hjälp av falska kreditkort och stulna identiteter.
Christopher Covelli, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office, said the suspects would fly into O’Hare International Airport, rent a car and go to Apple stores to attempt to make purchases.
Detectives and highway patrol deputies from the sheriff’s office began conducting increased patrols and surveillance at the Deer Park Apple store after an Apple store in Schaumburg was targeted, Covelli said.
Between Wednesday and Sunday, six people allegedly tried to commit fraud at the store. The six were arrested and charged. Authorities successfully recovered over $10,000 worth of stolen Apple products from the alleged suspects.
