Suspects Shannon Bradley, Shelronda Bingham, Shanese Lewis and Risha Hardin cashed in tax return money in Cobb

Nearly 2,000 people in metro Atlanta have become victims of identity theft.

According to the District Attoey's Office, Shannon Jay Bradley, Shelronda Kay Bingham, Shanese Machelle Lewis and Risha Hardin are accused of breaking into several Cobb County tax retu businesses. The suspects are each charged with a total of 3,736 counts in the indictment including computer theft, identity fraud, computer forgery, burglary, evidence tampering, money laundering and racketeering.

Investigators say Hardin has not tued herself in at this time.

There are 1,859 alleged victims in the case, according to the District Attoey's Office.

DA officials say the suspects stole tax information, filed state and federal tax retus for the victims and cashed in.

District Attoey Vic Reynolds says the suspects created fake tax businesses to cash in victims' refunds and used the money to buy a Porsche and a Buckhead condo.

Reynolds says most victims probably know of a problem with their tax retu, but some might not know yet.

The DA says his office will contact every one of the victims.

If you think you are a victim, you are asked to contact the Cobb County District Attoey's Office.
