Four Sarasota residents were charged Tuesday in a plot to use discarded receipts at several stores to get fraudulent "refunds" for purchases they never made, Sarasota County deputies said.
Brandie Horsley, 29; Thomas Harrison, 45; David Walshaw, 36; and James Buck, 30; were charged with scheming to defraud.
The group was seen by deputies scouring through store parking lots and trash cans in search of receipts for food purchased with cash, the sheriff's office said.
Horsley would take receipts to customer service counters and say she meant to use her food stamp card, investigators said. She would ask that the card be charged for the receipt amount and the cash refunded to her instead, investigators said
