DENVER (CBS4) – Authorities have busted an identity theft ring that they say cast a wide net and caught the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders organization among its victims.
Members of the ring would allegedly steal checks and other documents from mailboxes, create phony checks and cash them to buy methamphetamine and other items.
Rackeetering is among the charges described in the grand jury indictment obtained by the Denver District Attorney’s office. Their case includes 75 counts, 270 victims and 10 suspects.
The ring is said to have operated out of a home in Arvada which was nicknamed the “Hobbit Hole.” The stolen documents were said to be altered there using computers and printers to create counterfeit checks and IDs.
