Riverside county authorities went to Spotlight 29 Casino after casino security reported a couple for fraud. It was reported that Sherry and Garry Terwilliger of Yucaipa attempted to use a stolen California ID in someone else’s name to obtain a player’s card.
After searching their vehicle, authorities found several other casino player’s cards, their mail, credit cards along with methamphetamine drugs and needles.
The couple was then booked and arrested for identity theft, burglary, possession of methamphetamine, possession of hypodermic needles and a misdemeanor traffic warrant for driving with a suspended license.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department offers the following prevention tips to the community:
- Do not leave any personal information in your car
- If your house or car was broken into, report it to the police immediately.
- Deposit your outgoing mail in post office collection boxes or at your local post office, rather than in an unsecured mailbox.
- Review your bank and credit card statements monthly for signs of suspicious activity. Immediately contact the company if an item looks suspicious.
- Check your credit reports from the three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, at least twice a year and correct any inaccuracies.
