<DIV class=gtv_abstract id=GetFullStory1_divAbstract>LONE TREE - More than a
hundred Colorado dentists and their patients could be at risk for identity theft
after a car containing a bag of sensitive information was stolen. </DIV><BR>
<DIV class=gtv_body id=GetFullStory1_divStory>Lone Tree Police says the bag of
documents were in the trunk of the car, which belonged to an employee of the
Colorado Board of Dental Examiners. <BR><BR>"There was a substantial amount,"
said Det. Todd Pachello with Lone Tree Police. "Three, 3-ring binders in a bag
that contained sensitive medical information." <BR><BR>According to police and
the Colorado Board of Dental Examiners, the employee was taking the information
home to finish work, but first made a stop at Park Meadows Mall to shop November
30. <BR><BR>Police say the car was stolen in the parking lot with the documents
inside. <BR><BR>Authorities found the car a few days later this week at an
apartment complex located at 4500 South Monaco in Denver where one of the
alleged thieves lived. <BR><BR>Inside the unit, police discovered a massive
amount of personal information from previous crimes. <BR><BR>"Social Security
numbers, dates of birth, the credit card numbers, the pin numbers to those
credit cards, they even have the photo IDs of the individuals they stole those
credit cards from," said Pachello. <BR><BR>Rodney Hendrix, Curtis Jenkins, and
Adam Silva were arrested and taken into custody. Hendrix, the so-called ring
leader, faces a possible lifetime sentence if convicted, because police say this
is his fifth offense. <BR><BR>The Colorado Board of Dental Examiners says its
employee did not violate any company policies by taking the documents out of the
building. <BR><BR>It's not known whether the suspects used the victims' personal
information before they were arrested, but all the victims are currently being
contacted by authorities. <BR><BR>If you have questions about the case, you're
asked to call Lone Tree Police at 303-339-8150.</DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
