A suspected identity thief accused of racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal charges says police should be out there busting “real criminals” instead of family men like himself, court records show.

Adan Betancio Guerrero, 36, of Mesa is accused of stealing a Social Security number and using it to purchase two homes and two vehicles.

Court records show Betancio ran up $787,000 in loans and even tried getting a job using the victim’s personal information.

Authorities started looking into the case after a credit union doing a loan on a $33,000 truck noticed that they already had a customer with the same Social Security number.

They contacted the customer, a 24-year-old woman, and learned her identity had been stolen.

Betancio also told police he is an illegal immigrant.
