Rayne Police arrests two Romanian nationals in connection to a credit card fraud investigation

RAYNE, La. (ENN) — Rayne Police conducted a traffic stop on a 2022 Toyota 4Runner on I-10 West on Saturday afternoon.

This action followed a BOLO alert for the vehicle related to ongoing investigations into credit card skimming activities at various checkout locations throughout the State, police say. During the stop, officers discovered around 30 payment cards with reloaded stolen credit card numbers hidden in a compartment within the vehicle's dash.

Further investigation revealed that the Italian and Danish identifications presented were fake. The individuals, who initially identified themselves as Johan Skov and Martin Ramunssen, are suspected to be Romanian nationals currently in the U.S. illegally. The two males were arrested and are being held without bond.

Rayne Police say they believe the suspects may have rented accommodations in the Acadiana area. If you have information about their stay or any related activities, please contact Detective Richard Gray at 337-393-2930 or email 105@raynepd.org.
