Parkway, Apartment 229, which resulted in the arrest of two subjects possibly involved with numerous identity thefts.
Inside the apartment, investigators found over 100 credit and debit cards, notebooks containing hundreds of names, addresses, and social security
numbers, blank IRS tax forms, tax documents sent to homes, as well as applications for credit cards. A preliminary investigation led investigators to believe that the suspects were targeting subjects who are incarcerated and using
their identities to obtain credit cards, tax refunds, and other financial information.
The credit cards which have been located have been cancelled.
Investigators arrested Thomas Bruce Henley, age 54, and Mary Theresa Merritt, age 34 both of Cartersville. At this point, both subjects have only been charged with Theft by Receiving Stolen Property. More charges may be forthcoming as
the investigation progresses.
Investigators will be working with other local jurisdictions and the FBI in this ongoing investigation.
