Authorities say Armenian Power gang began as East Hollywood street gang in the 1980s. Authorities say they’re seeing more gangs, including Armenian Power, now embracing identity theft, especially to steal from Medicare and Medicaid programs. The gang skimmed hundreds of credit and debit card numbers after installing skimmers on cash registers in 99 Cents Only stores across southern California. They then used this information to create counterfeit credit cards, with which they stole $2 million, authorities say. The case is the culmination of a five-year investigation into Armenian Power.”]
