Francis Montecillo, 24, of New Milford already faced computer-related theft charges after his arrest in October. In January, police received information that Montecillo, out on bail, was continuing his alleged "illicit activities," Grewal said.
Police investigated and determined that he allegedly used stolen credit-card information to buy items online and to pay for gym memberships in Paramus for himself and his brother, Kenneth, 22, also of New Milford, Grewal said. Both brothers filled out online gym registration forms using stolen credit card info and showed up at the gym to work out and get photo IDs, he added.
Francis Montecillo also allegedly stole more than $10,000 in bitcoins, an online currency that can be used to buy certain goods and services. After buying the bitcoins and transferring them to a different account, he had his bank reverse the money transfer to the bitcoins seller, Grewal said.
