Authorities arrest a bank teller and five others involved in an identity theft ring in South Florida, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The arrests were the latest made in Operation Felony Lane, a multiagency investigation of organized identity theft rings in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties.
The teller at BankAtlantic branch stole personal information from customers’ accounts and shared it with other defendants, according to the indictment.
Authorities revealed several others haven’t been arrested yet but are also charged in the 21-count federal indictment unsealed Thursday.
Court documents show most of those charged have been accused of stealing identities, cashing forged checks, using stolen credit cards and recruiting others to do the same. Charges against them include bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.
