25 People Facing Federal ID Theft Charges - News - NBC 17:
RALEIGH, NC -- Twenty five people arrested in an immigration sting last week had their first appearance in a Raleigh federal courtroom Tuesday.
A total of 25 people, including 14 women and 11 men, remain in federal custody charged with identity theft. “Identity theft, which is what these individuals are charged with, affects Americans of all walks of life,” said U.S. Attorney George Holding.
In this case U.S. attorneys say all the arrests are based on victim’s complaints of identity theft. “One victim that we interviewed was threatened with losing subsidized housing because their income that was being reported by the criminal or the defendant in this case had thrown them over the limit,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney James Candelmo.
