MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Three New York men have been accused of swindling two Apple Stores in Minnesota out of $44,041.79, according to charges filed Monday.
The authorities have identified the suspects as Zouki Srugo, Eli Halabieh and 22-year-old Gozif Halabieh.
According to the complaint, all three suspects entered the Edina store, collectively spoke with a sales person and selected $20,974.79 worth of merchandise. After a Capitol One credit card was initially declined, Srugo made a telephone call, claiming he was contacting Capitol One to inquire why the card was declined. The Apple Store employee talked with the unknown person on the phone who provided the employee a fictitious authorization code, which completed the transaction.
