"Michigan City Hardee's Workers Arrested for Running Bond Scam, Police Report"

Employees at a Hardee's restaurant in Michigan City, Indiana, allegedly stole customers' credit card information and used the funds to bail inmates out of the LaPorte County Jail. The group made fraudulent charges totaling $14,700 using drive-thru customers' credit and debit cards. The suspects face charges of conspiracy to commit fraud and criminal organizational activity, with potential prison sentences of up to eight and a half years if convicted. The scheme involved photographing customers' cards at the drive-thru window, using them to place money into inmates' jail accounts, and then withdrawing the remaining balance on a jail-issued debit card. One suspect remains at large, and anyone with information is urged to contact the authorities.
