Two arrested here on counts of ID thefts in Calif., Texas

(Lincoln County NC)


Two RSI Employees were arrested Thursday in connection with identity theft cases in California and Texas.

Antonio Tornez Nava, 25, Gastonia, and Maria Remedios Rosaldo Carrasco, 42, Lincolnton, are charged with one count each of felony identity theft.

Detective Andrew Alvarado said that Nava was using the identification of Eduardo Chacon, a Los Angeles firefighter who lost his wallet in 2001.

Chacon told authorities that he wasn’t aware that someone was using his identity until he was contacted by the IRS about why he didn’t report all of his income.

Carrasco was using the identity of Delia Zepeda of Harlingen, Texas.

Zepeda, whose purse was stolen during a vehicle break-in, was also made aware that someone had used her identity when she was contacted by the IRS.

Alvarado said both suspects are illegal immigrants and were employed at RSI Plant No. 2 in the Lincoln County Industrial Park.

Nava had been working at RSI for three years under his “assumed nameâ€

I'd sure like to know how they caught these two individuals. It's not a raid. I'd like to know.

Interesting for those of us who may turn in individuals.

A few years ago there was a woman who had lost her wallet only to be hit with an IRS bill for some 200 plus illegals working simultaneously around the country with her identity.
The old saying about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer should be updated to keeping any ID hidden in body parts.
