Adrian Fernandez and Jose Marquez- Hernandez had 11 counterfeit cards with them and another 99 cards in a bag, all printed with their names, the release continues. "However, the cards were cloned with victims' banking information," it says. Deputies also found $4,000 worth of gift cards, 17 cartons of ciga- rettes, 10 bags of clothing and children's toys in the men's rental car, the release adds. Fernandez and Marquez-Hernandez were charged with three counts each of Trafficking in Counterfeit Credit Cards. The investigation is continuing and additional charges are pend- ing, the release notes. "The recent arrests for cloned credit cards are the direct result of the successful public-pri- vate partnership between the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office and area retail stores," which was established with the launch of Operation Booster Buster one year ago, the release points out.

The 41-year-old victim was shopping with her two young children on Sunday afternoon, June 15, when she observed a man speaking with the children, a news release says. "A short time later, she noticed multiple flashes illuminate from the floor and turned around to see the same man crouched down behind her" with his cellphone in his hand, the release adds. The woman confronted the suspect, and they struggled briefly, it continues. He ran off, but a witness followed him and was able to get the tag number of his car, the release says.
