Two Detroit Men Get Prison Terms In Deed Theft / Forgery Scams

The Detroit Free Press reports:

• "Two Detroit men who were forging the signatures of property owners so they could illegally obtain ownership of the land, take out a mortgage and then pocket the money have been sentenced to prison, Wayne County officials announced Monday. Leroy Adams of Detroit was sentenced last week to 3-14 years on 15 counts of fraud after he used the identity of Vanna De Dona, 66, of Grosse Pointe Park, who owns rental properties in Detroit. [...] A month earlier, Russell Daniels of Detroit was sentenced to 3-20 years after neighbors told the owner of a Detroit house that unknown people were living there."
