Mecklenburg fraud suspect apprehended in Rowan County – Salisbury Post

ROWAN COUNTY — A Charlotte-area woman facing a number of charges was taken into custody in Rowan County earlier this month.

Kisha Shawwanda Lane, 51, of 8033 Truelight Church Road, Mint Hill, was arrested in Rowan County on Nov. 19, according to a release from the office of North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey.

Lane is charged with forgery of an instrument, identity theft, theft, obtaining property by false pretense, attempting to obtain property by false pretense, unlawfully accessing computers and exploiting the trust of the disabled or elderly. All seven counts are felonies.

According to special agents with the NC Department of Insurance Division of Criminal Investigation, Lane assumed the identity of another person by forging a check to withdraw $4,000 from a Transamerica Insurance Annuity account.

Lane allegedly accessed the victim’s computer and account without her knowledge or authorization. She also attempted to withdraw another $2,400 from the same account without permission.

The incident occurred on February 16, according to arrest warrants.

“Identity theft is a serious and rampant crime,” Causey said. “Our agents are working to aggressively pursue and prosecute insurance fraud and insurance-related identity theft in North Carolina.”
