Sandy police have dismantled an identity theft and fraud ring, leading to the arrest of 19 individuals involved in a scheme that affected up to 200 victims across the state. Additionally, a separate fraud conspiracy targeted elderly individuals nationwide, resulting in losses exceeding $6.6 million and the indictment of two suspects. The scheme involved a lottery scam in Broward that defrauded senior citizens of the same amount, with a passport fraudster and her partner implicated in the operation spanning Fort Lauderdale and Jamaica.
