Syracuse, NY -- A morning raid across Onondaga County netted 42 arrests of people accused of stealing $624,333.51 in public assistance in the city of Syracuse and 15 suburbs. Sharena Taylor, of Syracuse, is accused of bilking $71,441.01 from welfare, more than twice as much as the second-highest alleged offender. Two others are accused of stealing more than $30,000 and four others more than $20,000. "There are few frauds more egregious than people who apply for and use public assistance benefits when they are not eligible," District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said. "They are not only stealing from tax paying citizens, they hurt those who truly need public assistance." |
