Three Salisbury Residents Indicted in Bank fraud Scheme

BALTIMORE-Three Salisbury residents have been charged in a federal indictment in connection with a bank fraud scheme that spanned Maryland and Pennsylvania, and possibly other locations.
Prosecutors said the trio opened checking accounts and deposited fraudulent checks into the accounts, then used the associated check cards at ATM machines to make cash withdrawals. They also allegedly used the check cards to obtain services, such as utilities, cable, and cellular phone service, and make purchases at restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations.
Prosecutors said the defendants made fraudulent identification documents using the personal information of others to aid them in the scheme.
Tuesday's 10-count indictment charges Christopher Andre Devine, 33; Quanishia Williamson-Ross, 31; and Lenee E. Williamson, 22, with bank fraud conspiracy, access device fraud, aggravated identity theft, and possession of false identification documents.
No court appearance has been scheduled yet for the three defendants, who have all been detained.
