VALDOSTA, Ga. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say four men who were found with hundreds of stolen bank and credit account numbers have been sentenced to prison.
Authorities say the men were sentenced Wednesday by a judge in Valdosta, Georgia.
Prosecutors say 44-year-old Antonio Hernandez-Vilar, 41-year-old Eduardo Rodriguez-Martinez, 48-year-old Gustavo Hernandez-Corona and 40-year-old Aquiles Alvarez-Valdez were stopped on I-75 in Lowndes County in May. Police searched their car and found numerous debit and credit cards, laptop computers containing additional stolen information and a magnetic card reader that could also encode stolen account numbers onto debit and credit cards.
Authorities say the men pleaded guilty to possessing unauthorized access devices and have been sentenced to between 57 and 80 months in prison. They're ordered to pay more than $14,000 in restitution.
