Md. police trying to find ID theft victims

Posted on August 19, 2009 by Dissent

Police said they were trying to identify at least 100 victims of identity theft whose private information was found in a hotel room in Elkridge, Md.

Four suspects from Florida face charges for a theft scheme that stretches across at least four states, the Howard County, Md., police said Wednesday in a news release.

Police said a hotel housekeeper alerted them to some suspicious documents she found in a trash can. A search of the hotel room and the vehicle of the person registered to the room turned up hundreds of personal and financial documents from various states and victims, including driver’s licenses, credit cards, checks, Social Security cards and bank statements, the police said.
