New York man arrested in Stafford County fraud scheme

STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — A 23-year-old man from New York was served with 67 warrants after allegedly making fraudulent purchases with a stolen credit card in Stafford County, according to the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded to reports on Sunday, August 24, of fraud after a California victim stated that his credit card had been used 11 times at a Wawa on Garrisonville Road in Stafford County.

According to deputies, surveillance footage from the Wawa showed a man purchasing items at the store before leaving in a black Nissan. Deputies then searched the area for nearby Wawas after learning the suspect had made transactions at other locations.

Deputies say they then spotted the same black Nissan parked behind another Wawa, and he was taken into custody. The suspect, Caiteng Li, was found not to have a valid driver’s license and had a suspected controlled substance in his possession.

According to deputies, Li was charged with 13 counts of credit card theft, 13 counts of credit card fraud, 13 counts of fraudulently receiving goods, 13 counts of identity theft with intent to defraud, 13 counts of obtaining money by false pretenses, possession of controlled substances, and driving without a license.

Li was transported to the Rappahannock Regional Jail, where he is being held without bond.
