3 arrested after stolen IDs used to buy plastic surgery
Three women who met in jail and allegedly used stolen information to create fake IDs to get credit are back in jail Wednesday.
Vanessa Williams turned in her co-conspirators to Gwinnett County detectives after allegedly taking part in a fake ID and financial crimes ring, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Detective Nermin Cultarevic told Channel 2 Williams explained in detail the scam that put Ericka Williams, Sean Blow and Edrell Smith back behind bars.
They were all living in a Sugarloaf area home and allegedly used IDs bought from prison inmates to create new, fake identities and purchase high-end cars and other items. Some of the fake lines of credit created were used by strippers to buy breast and other implant surgeries, Channel 2 reported.
“How much money we talking about? I estimated and this is a very conservative number of at least 100,000 dollars,” Cultarevic told Channel 2.
