QUINCY, Mass. — Two suspects were arrested earlier this month for allegedly stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of checks and mail in an identity fraud scheme.
Qiangqiang Chen and Liuliu Chen, both of Quincy, are facing charges of larceny of mail and identity theft.
According to police, officers executed a search warrant at a home in Quincy’s Wollaston neighborhood on April 3 following an investigation into a theft the morning of December 25, 2024. Details of that theft were not immediately available, only that it was initially handled by the Quincy’s Shoplifting and Retail Theft Task Force.
Investigators say nearly $200,000 worth of checks, U.S. mail, credit cards, and various identity documents were seized from the Wollaston residence.
These arrests are part of an investigation into a larger theft ring, according to authorities.
