  Two Men Arrested for Credit Card Fraud at Casino
Posted By Criminal Defense Editor

Two men out on parole were arrested again in Ranco Mirage, this time for white collar crimes. Erik Baca, 27, and Javier Lopez, 42, were discovered using counterfeit credit cards at four different desert casinos. They were attempting to get a large cash advance at the fourth casino, like they had successfully done at the first three, when police captured them.

When Nordstrom Visa alerted staff at the Agua Caliente Casino that a fraudulent transaction had been made at their Ranco Mirage location, they alerted security personnel at surrounding casinos to be on the lookout for the two men. Just a few hours later security cameras at the Fantasy Springs Resort caught Baca and Lopez trying to withdraw money again.

The authorities came in and took the two men to the Indio jail where they are being held without bail. Lopez can expect to stay in jail a little while longer due to the additional counterfeit cards that were located at this home by officers later that day, as well as the equipment to make them.

Authorities are still investigating the case.
