Home Depot Employee Caught Issuing Store Cards To Fake Customers

Apparently, security is such at the Home Depot that an employee can ID theft his imagination. According to Newsday, an employee of Home Depot was caught issuing cards to fake people and then using them at other stores.

Darwin Munro, 41, of Jamaica, was arrested at 4:45 p.m. Thursday in Elmont and faces numerous charges including first-degree identity theft, falsifying business records, fraud and grand larceny.

Criminals beware. You can be charged with “first-degree id theft” even if the “person” you’re “ID thefting” is Harvey the Rabbit.
