#CrimeCamNow On April 17th, 2022, Dunwoody police officers responded to a call about a couple involved in a fraudulent scheme. The duo had cunningly used someone else's reward account information to book and stay at the Marriott hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. Upon arriving, officers learned that the hotel had received a call from a puzzled individual in California who denied making any reservations in Atlanta. Initially considering a credit card mix-up, officers were stunned to discover that the couple had checked in using their debit card, but the reservation was made under someone else's identity. The male suspect, claiming innocence, insisted that a friend named Rikko had booked the room, but he couldn't provide Rikko's last name. A call to the victim confirmed that he had no connection to the suspects, and officers gathered information for the ongoing investigation. The officer asked the male suspect how he communicated with his friend Rikko, and the suspect showed him messages on his cell phone. The male suspect explained that Rikko had booked a hotel room under his girlfriend’s name and another person's name, and they checked in using his girlfriend’s name. He mentioned that they had stayed in another hotel just yesterday without any issues. As the officers delved deeper, discrepancies emerged in the suspects' story. The male suspect maintained his innocence, presenting text messages supposedly from Rikko. The victim was not only concerned about the fraudulent use of his information but also wanted his rewards points reinstated. However, the investigation revealed that the reservation was initially under the victim's name, with the girlfriend's name added just moments before check-in. With the sergeant's input, a decision was made to arrest the couple. The male suspect kept insisting on his innocence and kept claiming he hadn't done anything wrong. He also tried to convince the officer that his girlfriend was unaware of the situation, asking not to arrest her. Despite pleas of innocence and attempts to shift blame, both were apprehended for disorderly conduct and transported to DeKalb County jail.
