The Northern York County Regional Police Department arrested Marshall Anthony Bradley, 33, of 55 Hunter Creek Drive in Conewago Township for Identity Theft and other charges.
In May of 2012 victims began reporting that they were receiving unsolicited credit cards in the mail. Other victims reported inconsistencies on their credit reports, and others reported mail being taken from their mailboxes.
Northern York County Regional Police was able to track a majority of the transactions to an Internet address belonging to a Manchester Township Insurance Agent and to an Internet address belonging to the Harrisburg Area Community College.
Marshall Bradley was a student at HACC and an employee of the insurance agent. Further investigation found that a majority of the victims were customers of the insurance agent, had received a quote from the insurance agent, or were neighbors of a customer of the agency.
Bradley was accessing personal information of victims through the insurance agency computerized files. He would then apply for credit cards in the names of the victims and have the cards sent to the victim’s address. Bradley would then determine the mail delivery schedule for the address in question and then repeatedly check the victim’s mailbox in an attempt to retrieve the credit card prior to the victim discovering it.
Twenty-nine victims have been identified so far.
Bradley would then use the cards until they were maxed out or canceled.
The total amount of loss to the victims and the credit card companies is still being determined.
Bradley faces charges for forgery, unlawful use of computer, identity theft, theft by unlawful taking, theft by deception, receiving stolen property, access device fraud, dealing in proceeds on unlawful activities, obstructing administration of law or other governmental function, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.
Police are still investigating and anyone with information is asked to contact the Northern York County Regional Police Department at 717.292.3647.
