\n A scam artist used prosthetic face masks and other disguises to pose as an elderly gambler and steal more than $100,000 from people at various Michigan casinos, the FBI said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Charges against the suspect, identified as John Christopher Colletti, 55, were contained in a 17-page criminal complaint and unsealed affidavit released by a federal court in Detroit, The Detroit News reported.<\/p>\n

The case was unsealed after Colletti was found and arrested in Kansas. He was being held in Michigan without bond.<\/p>\n

Beginning in May 2019, Colletti developed a scheme of purchasing people\u2019s identities online and creating false driver\u2019s licenses, FBI Special Agent Julia MacBeth said.<\/p>\n

Since then, Colletti stole the identities of casino customers who were a part of a VIP program that allows cash advances from kiosks located inside the casinos, The Detroit News reported.<\/p>\n

The kiosks are located under camera surveillance, prompting Colletti\u2019s disguise.<\/p>\n

The suspect was able to steal $98,840 from patrons of the MGM Grand Detroit, from April to May 2019, while wearing a full prosthetic mask, glasses, surgical masks and hats, MacBeth reportedly detailed in the affidavit.<\/p>\n

The suspect was caught on camera wearing a prosthetic mask, blue jacket, dark cap, blue jeans and sunglasses at the MGM Grand on May 23, 2019, where he withdrew $30,000 during 15 different transactions within a 30-minute period.<\/p>\n

Investigators reviewed camera footage from the casinos and found that Colletti used counterfeit driver\u2019s licenses each time he withdraws casino, according to the local news outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen Colletti would look at a piece of paper, likely containing the victims last four digits of the patron\u2019s Social<\/a> Security Number and the last four digits of the patron\u2019s telephone number, which were needed to complete the transactions,\u201d MacBeth said in the affidavit.<\/p>\n

Colletti was arrested March 12 by the Prairie Band Potawatomi Tribal Police at the Prairie Band Casino and Resort in Mayetta, Kan.<\/p>\n

A receipt also led investigators to a shortage unit that contained 48 falsified driver\u2019s licenses, mannequin heads used to prop up prosthetic masks and hundreds of receipts to the MGM Grand casino.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
