PLAQUEMINE — City police say they are puzzled by a rash of identity
theft cases in which thieves have run up bank debit card charges under
the names of local residents.

The victims include two members of the Board of Selectmen. Police say
they are working with local banks to investigate the persistent and
growing problem.

Capt. Kenny Payne said Wednesday the first incident in the city was
reported about 18 months ago. He said since then he has seen about 50
new cases from all three of the local banks.
