New Hampshire Woman Accused of Stealing Co-Workers’ Identities

February 17, 2009

A former payroll clerk in a Derry, N.H., company has been accused of stealing the identities of co-workers to open credit card accounts.

Fifty-year-old Louise Hamilton was arrested this week.

Police say detectives began looking into Hamilton after a former co-worker at Total Packaging Concepts in Derry reported his information had been used to open and run up charges on a credit card.

Court documents say police eventually received information that Hamilton’s address and phone number were listed on five different accounts opened in other people’s names.

Hamilton had been charged in Londonderry last fall with using her daughter-in-law’s information to apply for a credit card.
