Officials in the East Bay said they used facial recognition technology to identify a Sacramento County man allegedly caught on camera using fraudulent credit cards to steal thousands of dollars.

Christopher Briscoe, 56, was arrested at his Fair Oaks home by Pinole police. There, police said, they found Briscoe had been running an identity theft scheme out of his dining room using credit card coding machines and an identification card manufacturing lab. Police recovered several forged checks and the personal information of numerous victims, according to the Police Department.
