DALLAS –
Police on Monday stumbled upon hundreds of stolen credit cards and social security numbers.
Sources said the bust was somewhat accidental. A suspect used a bogus credit card to rent a car from an Oklahoma-based rental company. The company then tracked the car to the Hyatt Regency in downtown Dallas.
Cops called to make the arrest found credit cards, social security numbers and files from a major federal agency inside the room in plain sight. Drugs including methamphetamine and marijuana were also found.

Sources said it is likely someone from the undisclosed federal agency was supplying the suspect with information to make the bad cards.
Police confiscated a laptop, equipment and other evidence. They arrested the young man and young woman who were inside the room at the time, but it is still unclear how they are connected to what sources said appears to be an identity theft operation.
