Thousands of dollars were reportedly taken by a Maspeth man who was arrested last week on charges that he allegedly stole another mans personal information and used it to open a fraudulent credit card account.
Law enforcement sources stated that Harold Kuemmel, 49, of 53rd Drive faces charges of first-degree identity theft, grand larceny and criminal possession of a forged instrument after having reportedly swiped nearly $10,000 from a major credit card company within a span of seven months after allegedly opening a fraudulent account purportedly for the use of a trucking business.
According to investigators, the incidents began in November when Kuemmel allegedly applied for the card using the unidentified victims name and Social Security number.
After receiving a credit account, it is alleged, the suspect reportedly obtained a check from the financing company for $5,500 that was issued to him on Nov.
