EBT Theft Crisis in Solano County | Sacramento News
Description
A staggering $6 million vanished from Solano County’s EBT program between 2022 and 2023 via sophisticated card-skimming schemes. Thieves cloned cards and drained accounts, leaving victims with little recourse—despite ongoing investigations by local agencies, arrests remain scarce and no convictions have been secured. However, a silver lining: thefts dropped sharply last year thanks to new chip-enabled EBT cards making skimming harder. Still, officials warn criminals will adapt—and the Board of Supervisors is staying vigilant, monitoring trends and collaborating with law enforcement to stay one step ahead.
