News Brief: Alum accused of ID theft turns self in

Edward Anderton, a 2005 College alumnus, and Drexel University student Jocelyn Kirsch turned themselves in at Philadelphia Police headquarters yesterday to face new charges.

The couple, accused of a massive identity-theft scheme, have now been charged with burglary and theft.

The two were arrested on Friday on charges of forgery, identity theft, unlawful use of a computer and related offenses.

Anderton and Kirsch face a preliminary hearing today for the initial charges.

Anderton and Kirsch are thought to have forged credit-card transactions and stole their neighbors' identities to finance a lavish lifestyle that included international vacations.

A police search of the couple's apartment yielded expensive clothing, fake driver's licenses, a credit-card making machine, scanners and several computers.
