Convicted ID Thief Strikes In New Lenox: Complaint

NEW LENOX, IL - A 56-year-old man who was convicted of committing identity theft in 2012 in Lake County now finds himself facing four new counts of identity theft in Will County, as a result of a recent New Lenox Police Department investigation. A criminal complaint against Roger Wroda was filed last Tuesday. Wroda shows an address in Chicago in the 500 block of West 14th Place, according to court records.

A bench warrant was issued last week for his arrest.

According to the Will County complaint, Wroda "knowingly used a personal identification document," being a Chase Southwest Airlines credit card number belonging to a woman "to commit the offense of unlawful use of another's credit card."

Two of the four identity theft charges state that the monetary value of Wroda's Dec. 28 identity theft crime "exceeded $300 but did not exceed $2,000" and "such acts were done in furtherance of a single intention and design by a series of acts and that the property was obtained from the same victim."

Wroda is listed as being white, with brown hair and brown eyes, he is 6-foot-tall and weighs 196 pounds, the warrant for his arrest states.
