Related: About this forum13 arrested for stealing millions from low-income Southern Californians
KTLAThe suspects stole funds using card skimmers and ATMs to drain electronic benefit transfer (EBT) accounts, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
On April 25, authorities received a community tip about fraud and identity theft suspects residing at a Van Nuys motel on the 4700 block of Sepulveda Boulevard.
Investigators believe the suspects may be part of a Romanian syndicate known to target persons experiencing economic hardship for their EBT cards.
The group allegedly stole millions of dollars every month from Californians with EBT accounts, officials said.
There are thieves, then there are asses like these MFers.
