Mary Carmen Garcia, 27, and Daniel Guardiola Dominguez, 28 of Monterrey, Mexico, were apprehended trying to enter the US at the Anzalduas International Bridge border crossing with 96 fraudulent credit cards in their possession. McAllen police authorities and the Secret Service identified Garcia and Dominguez from surveillance footage at area retail stores. The suspects gained access to South Texas customer account information linked to the recent data theft from Target. “Someone in Mexico is obviously buying the data and producing the cards, then trying to make a run into the area to capitalize on it,” San Antonio Express-News reports McAllen Police Chief, Victor Rodriguez as saying.
