Four Charged In Multi-State SNAP And Pandemic Benefits Fraud Scheme

Federal prosecutors have charged four people in a multi-state fraud scheme involving SNAP and pandemic-era government benefits.

 

Authorities say more than one-million dollars was stolen using over 100 stolen identities across several states in New England and beyond. Prosecutors allege fraudulent SNAP benefits were used to supply a Leominster restaurant, with proceeds wired overseas.

 

The case remains under investigation.
