A Sacramento woman has been charged with multiple felonies for allegedly operating a lab to make phony credit cards.
Bao Xiong, 29, was arrested after deputies were called to Casino Fandango on a report of suspects in a fraud case a month ago. A search of her person revealed a small bag the arrest report says contained several $100 bills and credit cards that had no names on them along with blank cards with only the magnetic stripe on the back.
The report says she also had a check belonging to a Sacramento woman and another check written to another woman in the amount of $1,000.
Deputies reported they accompanied Xiong to her room at the Marriott Courtyard on South Carson Street where they said they found a machine that makes credit cards along with a stack of cards.
The report states deputies managed to contact a woman in Sacramento who said she was the victim of a vehicle burglary earlier this month. Another woman also reported she was the victim of a vehicle burglary and had several items taken including a check for $1,000.
Xiong was charged with operating a forgery lab, two counts of possessing stolen property, possession of an incomplete credit card and forgery. Her total bail was set at $197,500.
