Two arrested in Texas on access device fraud charges

Posted on February 10, 2010 by Dissent

Two Mexican nationals have been arrested and charged with access device fraud after more than 53 allegedly counterfeit credit cards in the name of others were discovered by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents as the two attempted to enter the United States from Mexico, United States Attorney Tim Johnson announced today.

A federal criminal complaint was filed today charging Roberto Carlos Calderon-Lara (yob 1974) and Isabell Martinez-Rodriguez (yob 1974) with access device fraud. The charges are the result of an investigation conducted by the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) after CBP agents at the Pharr, Texas, port of entry (POE) found several wallets in the personal possessions of Martinez which contained numerous credit cards and other documents in the name of others. Martinez and Calderon arrived together at the Pharr POE in a taxi.

Special agents from the USSS responded to the POE, examined the credit cards and determined them to be counterfeit with a potential fraud loss of $25,000 to area merchants. Martinez and Calderon were taken into federal custody and subsequently charged. Both appeared before a U.S. Magistrate today and have been ordered temporarily detained pending a detention hearing set for Thursday, Feb. 11, 2010.
