Two people were arrested after police served search warrants at three borough stores in connection with a fraud investigation involving food stamp access cards.
Adbu Aljash, 38, of Pottstown, and Kuldip Kaur, 40, of King of Prussia, were both charged with felony corrupt organization and other related charges, according to court documents.
Kaur worked at the Quick Mart Grocery Store on 55 E. High Street. Customers were able to buy cigarettes, non-food items and could receive cash back on their government-issued ACCESS cards, according to court records.

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Office of Inspector General had been monitoring Kaur and the store since last August 2012, according to the police report.
During that time, approximately $94,865 worth of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) transactions happened at the store, the police report said.
Undercover agents made five trips to the Quick Mart, the report said.
On Dec. 14, 2012, an undercover officer used a specially-made ACCESS card to make a purchase at the store.
