Two former Pret A Manger staff allegedly skimmed customers’ credit card details to forge cards with their own names on them, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. Nigel McCollum, 22, and Lenica Greene, 23, have been charged with identity theft, forgery, criminal possession of a forged instrument, criminal possession of forgery devices, and grand larceny, among other charges, in a 602-count indictment in New York State Supreme Court.
