WI: Former Brookfield Sprint Employee Used Stolen Social Security Numbers to Set Up Accounts

Posted on October 27, 2016 by Dissent

CBS reports:

A former employee at the Sprint Store in Brookfield, is charged with identity theft and stealing thousands of dollars’ worth of electronics.

Theodore Harris worked at the Sprint Store, located at 6075 W Bluemound Rd in Brookfield. According to the criminal complaint, he used stolen social security numbers, birth dates and driver’s license numbers to steal more than $70,000 worth of stuff.

It’s not clear, however, how Harris allegedly obtained the identity information as at least one of the victims is not a Sprint customer and claims that he never applied for a Sprint account.
