Michael Wright, 27, of Rockville Center allegedly printed out counterfeit weekly and monthly tickets and sold them for months.
MTA cops confiscated four fake weekly and 29 monthly LIRR tickets from passengers between March and June 2014 after conductors spotted them. When cops searched Wright’s home with a search warrant obtained from the Queens district attorney, they found images of the tickets on his flash drive, as well as the materials he used to make it, authorities said.“This case is a great example of coordination between LIRR conductors who noticed the counterfeit tickets and MTA Police investigators who traced the back to the store,” said MTA Police Chief Michael Coan.
Wright was charged with grand larceny, criminal possession of a forged instrument, identity theft, and trademark counterfeiting.
