Abstract
A Central Piedmont Community College student worker previously charged with embezzlement is also suspected of using her access to employee files to commit identity theft. According to the 18-year-old's former supervisor, beyond using the supervisor's credit card at Wal-Mart, the supervisor saw the student worker copy down names, Social Security numbers and birth dates from employee files. After searching the student workers house, police discovered a credit card, business card, prepaid Visa, insurance card and student identification in other people's names. CPCC officials have changed some of its security measures and are asking employees to check their personal information.
