New evidence surfaces in alleged identity theft ring in Bethlehem, as 1 of 3 accused appears in court | Bethelehm Area

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – More details emerged Friday on an alleged identity theft ring in Bethlehem, as one of the three accused – 37-year-old Giovanni Guridy – appeared in court Friday.

Among the evidence investigators say they found inside a Bethlehem home: 23 original checks used to make fake checks, and 22 driver’s licenses with Guridy’s picture on them.

Investigators say the ring was discovered in August following the issuance of a narcotics warrant at the home.

Guridy and co-defendants Melissa Ramos and Francisco Rodriguez Ayala now face 655 counts each.

Guridy and Ramos are being held on 10% of $500,000 bond. Ayala is being held without bond.
