The Office of the Attorney General in Concord, New Hampshire, led by Attorney General John M. Formella, has reported the arrest of Dujae Richards, a 29-year-old resident of Manchester, on multiple felony charges. The arrest, which took place on August 19, 2021, includes charges involving identity fraud, theft, and the fraudulent use of a credit card.
Richards faces eight counts of identity fraud classified as class A felonies. These charges are based on incidents reported between October 21, 2020, and February 5, 2021, in Nashua, where Richards is alleged to have impersonated another person, referred to as T.H., in communications with an insurance company to fraudulently gain money or credit.
Richards has been charged with one count of theft by unauthorized taking, a class A felony. This charge arises from actions between August 25, 2020, and February 23, 2021, in which Richards is accused of unlawfully exercising control over funds in excess of $1,500 belonging to T.H.
The final count against Richards pertains to the fraudulent use of a credit card for obtaining cash advances totaling over $1,500. This activity allegedly took place between August 26, 2020, and October 3, 2020.
Richards is scheduled for arraignment at the Hillsborough County Superior Court – Southern District. It is important to note that the charges against Richards are allegations at this stage, and he maintains the presumption of innocence until, and unless, proven guilty in a court of law.
The investigation was conducted by Investigator Anna Brewer-Croteau of the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office, with the prosecution being handled by Assistant Attorney General Bryan J. Townsend, II, of the Elder Abuse and Financial Exploitation Unit, and Attorney Kevin Scura of the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau.
