Peeksgill, N.Y., police spokesman Detective Sgt. Eric Johansen said the alleged scam started in July at a Radio Shack store in that city. Advertisement One unidentified employee became suspicious of a co-worker's behavior, and notified police, who started an investigation, the New York Post reported. Soon after, two New York officers separately reported unusual credit activity, the investigation went into high gear. They arrested clerk Candace Johnson-Davis, 19, who in turn led them to Laquaja Price, 20, who works as a civilian employee in a Bronx housing-police unit. Police allege she gathered the 10 officers' personal information and gave it to Johnson-Davis, who allegedly created phony Radio Shack credit lines, the newspaper said. Johansen said eight of the affected officers weren't aware their credit was being used.
