Some 24 people are currently facing white collar charges that carry the potential of decades of prison time, including second degree grand larceny and possession of forged instruments. The charges stem from the activities of an alleged credit card theft ring, in which thousands of credit card numbers and their related details were stolen from individuals across the country.
Prosecutors believe that the credit card information was used to create counterfeit credit cards, which were subsequently used to purchase and resell over one million dollars worth of electronics, such as iPods and MacBooks. The electronics were purchased in cities across the country.
