Hayward Woman Charged in Mass Thefts of IDs
The San Francisco Chronicle reports a Hayward woman has been charged with numerous felony counts for allegedly running an identity-theft operation that created fake Social Security and California identification cards, checks and credit cards. Mishel Caviness, 40, was arrested Wednesday after an investigation by Oakland police and the U.S. Secret Service. A search of her apartment last week uncovered a printing operation capable of making fake checks and credit cards, police said. Also found were 900 blank credit cards, personal information belonging to as many as 1,000 people, blank checks and computers.
