‘Bonnie & Clyde Of ID Fraud’

The Daily News ‘ Regina Medina has a great story today about a pair of alleged identity thieves. Penn grad Edward K. Anderton, 25, and Drexel student Jocelyn Kirsch, 22, allegedly stole the identities of their neighbors at a $3,000-a-month Center City condo.

They had the newest electronics and traveled around the world. But for some reason they also shopped at Ikea. Do we have a nickname? “Bonnie and Clyde of ID fraud.” Thanks. Kirsch allegedly tried to pass a bad check in order to get hair extensions and threatened the person attempting to contact him.

Also, the pair used Penn’s student newspaper as a resource:

After obtaining a search warrant, cops found three safe lock boxes in their apartment and confiscated $18,000 in cash, a Rolex watch, counterfeit Georgia state driver’s licenses, credit cards in the names of neighbors, and a 2005 article from the Daily Pennsylvanian - Penn’s newspaper - on “How to Spot Fake IDs.”

Come to think of it, it looks like Anderton got a nose job or something. Or maybe he just lost weight.
