_http://www.11alive.com/news/article_news.aspx?storyid=103923_ (http://www.11alive.com/news/article_news.aspx?storyid=103923) Sensitive documents were found in a trash dumpster behind a strip shopping center in Morrow. The shopping center is located at the intersection of Mt. Zion Road and Jonesboro Road. The file folders had copies of people’s drivers license, social security cards, and their addresses. The material could potentially become an identity theft nightmare. The documents were apparently dumped by someone with The Invision HR Staffing Group. The company recently changed its name and has moved from Morrow to College Park. Nick Campbell works for a retailer in the strip shopping center and said he found the documents Saturday when he went to the dumpster to throw out some trash. He called the Morrow Police Department. He says the officer saw the files and said there was nothing he could do about it. Campbell says he then took it upon himself to remove the sensitive material from the dumpster so that no one else would take advantage of the private information. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
