Woodbridge Man Accused of Using Computer-Repair Business to Steal from Customers

A Woodbridge man faces several charges after allegedly using his Stratford-based computer-repair business to steal from clients, according to the Fairfield Citizen.

The Citizen reports that Fairfield police arrested Billie Conley, 35, on a warrant Thursday and charged him with 17 counts of first-degree identity theft, two counts of third-degree larceny and one count each of second-degree forgery and second-degree computer crimes.

Fairfield police began investigating Conley after a resident reported to police last year that he discovered $75,000 worth of unauthorized online payments made from his mother’s bank account, according to the Citizen.

Conley had done computer repair work for the man through his company, Ridgefield Tech, LLC of Stratford, on multiple occasions and had apparently set up remote access to the man’s computer, according to the Citizen.

Conley is also accused of stealing from another Fairfield resident who had hired Ridgefield Tech.
