WARWICK, R.I. – The Warwick Police Department announced they have arrested two men at the Warwick Mall for using cloned credit cards.

According to police, mall security tracked down two men, identified as 21-year-old Corey Williams and 29-year-old Kofi Graham, from Brooklyn, New York, after they were seen using the counterfeit cards in multiple stores on video surveillance.

When police arrived on scene both suspects ran in different directions, but were ultimately arrested.

Police say numerous cloned credit cards were seized, as well as matching counterfeit CT ID cards corresponding to the names on the cloned cars. $7,000 in cash was also seized and police believe it was stolen.

“Your credit and personal information is stolen from one of many sources and then used in a cloned (counterfeit) credit card,” said police on their Facebook page. “The MO is usually to max out these cards up and down the 95 corridor to buy high dollar gift cards, cash advances or items in high demand for resale.”
