(CBS 11 News) MESQUITE Two people were arrested after the Dallas District Attorney’s Office helped make a ‘special’ furniture delivery Thursday.

Last month investigators received information from a Rooms To Go in Mesquite that an unknown woman used a false name and stolen credit card to purchase furniture.


Two days after the fraudulent purchase, the same woman went back to the store to purchase a $2,000 gift card using a stolen credit card.

The gift card was later used to purchase furniture online. The card user set up a delivery date for the furniture and police saw their chance.

Thursday morning, a district attorney investigator was among the furniture store delivery people who went to the house and delivered the merchandise inside. Following regular protocol, after the furniture was delivered the recipient signed for the merchandise and the sale was complete.

Armed with the signature the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office investigators executed a search warrant. Inside the home investigators found thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, including – flat screen televisions, major appliances and furniture.

The district attorney’s office has yet to release the name of the couple arrested, but officials believe the two are part of a larger ID theft ring.

“There are some other major retail chains that they have uncovered some furniture and other merchandise from inside the house,” said Jamille Bradfield, with the Dallas District Attorney’s Office.

An investigator told CBS 11 News that some of the other merchandise found inside the house may have come from Wal-Mart, Sears, and Home Depot.
