Brothers charged in $100,000 scam
Two brothers George Rhett and Tyrone Rhett of New Rochelle posed as Parking Violations Bureau employees and pocketed over $100,000 in fines by offering half price discounts and cutting waiting times. They issued forged receipts allowing victims to register cars, while the scheme unfolded for about a year and a half before discovery. Authorities say victims may have to pay again as tickets remained outstanding during renewal. The parking office at 5 Chambers St featured high noise and long waits, aiding the fraud.
