Credit-card fraudsters spent months ripping off Manhattan’s toniest stores, sources said Tuesday.
after a yearlong investigation by the NYPD’s Financial Crimes Task Force and Manhattan District Attorney’s Office’s Cybercrime and Identity Theft Bureau led to the arest members this week, sources said.
Officials said that between May 2015 and April 2016, the defendants used stolen credit card information to make more than 200 purchases — ringing up approximately $258,000 at Barneys alone.
They also shopped at Saks Fifth Avenue and unsuccessfully tried to purchase $156,000 in goods and merchandise throughout the year as well.
