NY: Another arrest in Golden Town Buffet skimming case

Posted on February 13, 2014 by Dissent

Albany Times Union reports the latest development in a card skimming case that affected customers at the Golden Town Buffet last summer;

A Manhattan man was arrested in an investigation into credit-card skimming at a Glenmont restaurant, town police said Thursday.

In August, authorities used a search warrant at Golden Town Buffet on Route 9W as part of their investigation and determined that Bao Hua Liu, 51, was involved in facilitating the use of counterfeit credit cards used to buy merchandise and gift cards at other sites. His relationship with the restaurant was not provided.

Liu was arrested Wednesday by Bethlehem detectives and officials from the U.S. Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security Investigations and FBI.
