Credit card fraud arrests in Ajax

Toronto - Durham Regional Police have busted up a stolen credit card operation, arresting a man and woman from Ajax.

Police say they found over 100 credit cards numbers from financial institutions in Canada and the United States, in the couple's Hinsley Crescent house.

They also found a fake Canadian citizenship and Social Insurance card which police say were used to make purchases on the Internet.

Over $8,000 worth of furniture purchased with stolen credit card data was also recovered from the house.

Several retailers and financial institutions had reported losses as a result of the credit card purchases made by the couple.

Thirty-six-year-old Wilson Gumbara and 36-year-old Lorraine Hazel of Ajax are facing several fraud related charges.
