Identity theft

Marie A. Wallace, 53, of the 1000 block of Union St. in Brooklyn, NY, presented a fraudulent California ID card in the 4200 block of Dundee Road June 28 and was attempting to withdraw money from an account that had been flagged due to identity theft activity. In addition to the fraudulent ID, she also had a Visa check card in the same name as the California ID, which was also determined to be fraudulent.

Officer’s contacted the original cardholder who advised them that her credit card had been compromised earlier in the month and she did not authorize anyone to use her personal information, nor the bank account. The defendant was placed under arrest for identity theft and turned over to the Cook County Sheriff for a bond hearing.
