34-year-old man arrested on identity theft charges

Henderson police arrested a 34-year-old Las Vegas man who they said had stacks of blank drivers licenses, laminate state seals and 160 blank credit cards and who is thought to have used stolen credit cards to buy goods.

Police arrested Justin Todd Moss on Saturday at the Whole Foods Market on Green Valley Parkway near Paseo Verde Parkway. Police were called to the store after an assistant manager suspected Moss was the same person who used stolen credit cards and a fake ID at the store a few weeks earlier.

Before calling police, the store manager watched surveillance video from March that showed Moss inside the store wearing the same shirt, police said.

Officers questioned Moss at the store and found various IDs and credit cards on him that weren't his, police said. Police also found a paper bag with credit cards bundled in rubber bands in his car, police said.

Police obtained a search warrant for Moss' weekly motel room and found $40,000 in cash, $25,000 in gift cards from various stores, police said.

They also found 160 blank credit cards from six banks, blank driver's licenses with magnetic strips and laminate state seals from California, Maine and Connecticut, police said.

Police booked Moss into the Henderson Detention Center on multiple charges, including identity theft, forgery and possession of stolen property.
