As reported on Yahoo today, a Philadelphia couple used keys to their neighbors’ apartments and mailboxes to finance a massive travel and shopping spree. Jocelyn Kirsch and Edward K. Anderton were charged last Friday with multiple counts of identity theft, fraud, and other crimes. Computer forensics experts will examine hard drives from four computers found in the apartment.
The couple was arrested after they tried to pick up a parcel they had ordered in a neighbor’s name. Police do not know how the couple obtained the keys for their Rittenhouse Square building. However, a search of the couple’s apartment yielded a wide array of evidence, including photos of their travels. Philadelphia Weekly and the Philadelphia Daily News have posted a sample photo.
