Two men from Yonkers, New York, were arrested for identity theft after police discovered over 80 forged credit cards hidden in their rental car. They also found a laptop containing \u201chundreds, possibly thousands\u201d of stolen credit card numbers, according to investigators.<\/p>\n
Gabriel Young, 26, and his co-defendant Omar Hidalgo pleaded guilty to a felony charge of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument. Young was sentenced to one to three years in prison in Westchester County Court.<\/p>\n
Hidalgo tried to purchase an iPad from a Best Buy store in Hartsdale in December 2015. He was carrying a forged credit card with the name Daniel Lopez. Hidalgo also had a forged Georgia driver\u2019s license that had Lopez\u2019s name but his photo on it.<\/p>\n
A store manager approached nearby police officers after he thought the credit card and license looked suspicious. The officers, who had already been on site, determined them to be fraudulent. <\/p>\n
