Last July, the Camden County Board of Social Services alerted the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office to numerous SNAP applications submitted under different individuals using the same residential address and phone number, Camden County Prosecutor Grace MacAulay said.

An investigation revealed Andre Streater submitted SNAP applications using identifying information for more than 40 people between June 7 and June 23, MacAulay said. Detectives identified a Cash App account used by Streater to transfer SNAP payments to his personal bank account, MacAulay said.

The total amount requested in the applications was approximately $128,700, MacAulay said. Of that total, records indicated Streater received approximately $31,200, MacAulay said.

He is charged with identity theft, forgery, theft by deception and possession of fraudulent receipts, MacAulay said.

Streater was with the complaint at the Camden County Correctional Facility, where he was being held on an unrelated matter, MacAulay said.
