Charges of Credit Card Fraud, Attempted Larceny Against Social Worker to be Dismissed
The prosecution alleged that on July 12, 2014 members of the Burlington, Massachusetts police department were dispatched to the Burlington Mall for a call of suspected credit card fraud. The officers arrived to meet with store managers who had identified several suspects as having tried to purchase computers and related equipment. The suspects refused to produce identification at the time of the purchase thereby raising suspicions. Through mall security videos the various suspects were located at certain locations throughout the mall. Some of the suspects were successful in making purchases from some stores in the mall. One of the subjects was a social worker who had in her possession a significant number of fraudulent credit cards and some items alleged to have been purchased with those cards and others similar to them. The investigation resulted in arrests and charges of larceny, credit card fraud and other felony crimes. Attorney Stephen Neyman was hired to represent the defendant. Today, all charges were continued without a finding. After a period of probation the charges will be dismissed and the client will have no criminal record.
