Police officers in Miami-Dade County, Florida, reportedly arrested a man found with 16 types of U.S. identifications and 47 debit cards.
Luis Bonachea, 32, was arrested Sunday, Jan. 29, in Sweetwater, Florida, reported Local 10 Miami. Police allegedly found 16 different forms of U.S. identification, including driver’s licenses and Social Security cards, and 47 debit cards, in Bonachea’s wallet and car.
Police charged Bonachea, who appeared in Miami-Dade County court Monday, with a third-degree felony. He is facing “16 counts of unlawful possession of the personal identification of five or more persons,” reported Local 10 Miami. The debit cards were linked with non-U.S. banks, according to the arrest report.
Bonachea lives near the Kendall West community in the state. He was being held at the Turner Guilford Correctional Center Knight Correctional Center on Monday afternoon, according to the local news outlet.
Identify theft continues to pose a serious problem for Americans, according to the National Council on Identity Theft Protection. The latest 2023 report shows that identify theft losses have cost Americans $5.8 billion.
“People who like posting things online frequently are usually at a higher risk of identity theft,” reported the National Council, which advises citizens to protect their personal information as carefully as possible.
No one cares. I am sure it is so widespread that it is untouchable at this point.
In 2003, I saw a ME man in the EWR airport pull out a small videocamera and was videotaping security, careful to keep it partially hidden and he would walk away, only to come back and videotape parts he had missed. I pointed it out to an airport policeman and was met with a look of such disgust and disdain as he told me “ITS AN AIRPORT. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TAKE PICTURES”.
I was a flight attendant, on one of the first flights to Germany after 9/11 and it was hammered into us to be aware and report things but what does it matter if it dies on the vine where you are.
The people who are giving out the WELFARE CASH cards that we Americans are own the hook for know that they have no way to verify if someone has multiple cards or identities in different states and I think they don’t even care as they are pushing every single freebie to these illegals as they can. I cannot go to Walmart and try to set up a surreptitious welfare card bust. Not too long ago, a Walmart employee called the police on a man who paid for a poor woman’s groceries so I am sure they would waste NO time calling the police on me.
Our country is gone.
Who does he think he is?? Barrack Obama?
How else he gone git he stuff?
“He is facing “16 counts of unlawful possession of the personal identification of five or more persons,””
______
Is there a particular law indicating that pieces of personal identification of five or more people is a specific crime? Would he have been okay if he had just had four? Just curious.
I guess you are only allowed to scam 4 people at a time in Florida.................
Just wondering who is helping illegal residents of the USA to obtain private information and to usurp legal residents’ identities.
Could it be the same people who allow theft up to $950 in CA?
Purty.
You mean, “fivehead.”
Also, big surprise that someone of Hispanic descent is carrying so much fraud.
Thank. That was the palabra I was looking for.

Don’t know if you heard, you don’t need identification to vote
