Villa Rica police arrest nurse for alleged fraud
Villa Rica police say T’Keyah Bradshaw worked in an area medical lab office and allegedly snapped pictures of patient credit cards. Bradshaw faces 10 charges for fraud and identity theft.
VILLA RICA, Ga. - A nurse is behind bars after an investigation into identity theft at a local medical lab office, according to the Villa Rica Police Department.
What we know:
Villa Rica police said Tkeyah Bradshaw worked in an area medical lab office when she allegedly took pictures of patient credit cards.
Investigators found that Bradshaw used the stolen information to run up more than $1,000 in fraudulent charges.
The unauthorized spending included everything from DoorDash deliveries to items from Victoria’s Secret.
What we don't know:
Police did not say what lab Bradshaw worked at or if additional victims have come forward.
What they're saying:
Police are using the case to remind residents that modern theft doesn't always involve a stolen wallet.
"Be aware of your belongings," said Villa Rica Police Sgt. Spencer Crawford. "Know where everything is, but in this case something was not physically stolen... the victims did not know their cards were missing."
Because Bradshaw allegedly used photos of the cards, the victims maintained possession of their physical plastic while their accounts were being drained.
What's next:
Bradshaw was arrested following the probe and is currently being held in the Carroll County Jail. Records show she is being held on no bond. It is unclear when her next court appearance will be.
