Ahhhh! Today it’s a food stamp fraud bust in Toledo, OH

I just yesterday told you about food stamp fraud (again!) and today there is a new bust in Ohio.   What a surprise, looks like most are adherents of the ‘religion of peace’ but the article doesn’t say what nationality they are which would give us some idea if they were initially refugees or asylees.  (For a laugh see this post on how an Arab outfit noticed a pattern with the names of those arrested in these scams.)

Eight Toledo convenience store employees were arrested yesterday following a 10-month investigation into the sale of stolen property and fraudulent use of food stamp cards at local stores, police said.

Six of the eight people were charged with either felony or misdemeanor receiving stolen property. Two were charged with illegal use of food stamps and telecommunications fraud, both of which are felonies, Lt. David Schmidt of the police department’s property unit said.

The employees arrested yesterday were:

•Adel “Eddie” and Nabil “Bill” Saleh of the Peck Market, 1040 Peck St.

•Mohammad Zarour of Wag’s Carryout, 422 Steadman St.

•Rebecca Coffey of Katie’s Baby World, 1822 Lagrange St.

•Tahwer Qavi of Dollar Close-Outs, 2839 Monroe St.

•Ahmad Deen of the Lucky Dollar Mini Mart, 1713 Jefferson Ave.

•Michael Flowers and Sukhwinderdeep Singh of the Uptown Market II, 1602 Cherry St.

Three people charged with receiving stolen property remained at large yesterday, Lieutenant Schmidt said.

They were Wasif Alshahar of the Beer Dock, 932 Huron St.; Nawal Mamoud of the Prospect Red and White Market, 1902 North Detroit Ave., and Samir Braiteh of the Sunoco gas station, 350 West Bancroft St. 

Said the police lieutentant in charge:

“It’s been going on for years, just in varying degrees at varying times,” he said.

He said there is no conspiracy suspected, but I wonder if there are seminars taught in certain countries of the world in which ‘students’ are taught how to enter the US, get a convenience store and start scamming the dumb Americans.    You know there is a visa program (E-2 Treaty Investors) whereby someone with some money can get into the US if they say they are starting a business.

We need a leader in Washington who would work to change the law and make it impossible to use food stamps at these convenience stores and little gas stations.   Only large reputable supermarkets should trade in food stamps.
