A 26-year-old man from New York is accused of using stolen credit cards to buy more than $65,000 in liquor from stores across Pennsylvania.

Eugene Antwi, of Brooklyn, was arrested in New York this week and was charged with identity theft, access device fraud, theft by deception, forgery, and other related offenses, according to a news release from the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General. He will be arraigned in Pennsylvania.

Authorities said the investigation found that Antwi used fake identities and stolen debit and credit cards to place more than 200 online orders, totaling more than $65,000. The 26-year-old man allegedly picked up the orders at stores in 21 counties in Pennsylvania.

The news release said Antwi ran the scheme from August 2023 to September 2024.

"This defendant went to great lengths to steal from unsuspecting Pennsylvanians and defraud the Liquor Control Board, which oversees legal purchases of alcohol in the Commonwealth," Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said in the news release. "Our Organized Retail Crime Section is committed to collaborating with partners like the Pennsylvania State Police to combat theft and fraud that raise the prices of goods for hardworking Pennsylvanians."

HARRISBURG — Attorney General Dave Sunday and the Pennsylvania State Police announced that a Brooklyn man is charged with orchestrating an identity theft scheme to place more than 200 orders for expensive liquors in numerous Pennsylvania counties.

Eugene Antwi, 26, was arrested this week in New York and is charged with felony counts of identity theft, access device fraud, theft by deception, forgery, and related offenses.

Antwi will be arraigned on the charges in Pennsylvania.

The joint investigation, that included a presentment from the 52nd Statewide Investigating Grand Jury, revealed that Antwi used falsified identities and stolen credit and debit cards to place more than 200 online orders, totaling more than $65,000. Antwi then picked up the orders at stores in 21 counties.

“This defendant went to great lengths to steal from unsuspecting Pennsylvanians and defraud the Liquor Control Board, which oversees legal purchases of alcohol in the Commonwealth,” Attorney General Sunday said. “Our Organized Retail Crime Section is committed to collaborating with partners like the Pennsylvania State Police to combat theft and fraud that raise the prices of goods for hardworking Pennsylvanians.”

Antwi perpetrated the scheme between August 2023 and September 2024. The Office of Attorney General filed charges and the New York City Police Department arrested Antwi on the outstanding warrant.

This case is being prosecuted by Senior Deputy Attorney General Philip McCarthy and Deputy Attorney General Kelsey Ashworth. Criminal charges, and any discussion thereof, are merely allegations and all defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

"NEW YORK MEN could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this neighborhood before. There could be NEW YORK MEN anywhere."
 
There was an Arab who would routinely come to Kentucky to "visit family" and buy $20k of cigarettes from Sam's club and drive them back to his bodega in New York. He said they cost less than half the price, plus he didn't have to pay taxes on them due to using a business account.

They get away with so much shit, its unreal.
 
Are we sure thats his real name and this isn't just a plot by jim lahey to steal enough liquor to finally become the liquor and used a fake identity to do it?
 
Free my nigga he was only liberating that alcohol from the draconian policies the Commonwealth of PA has against liquor.
