FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - Dozens of credit cards, fraudulent checks, and stolen IDS were seized after the Broward Sheriff's Office broke up a fraud ring at a Lauderdale Lakes home.

They also recovered stolen electronics and more than $73,000 in cash and jewelry.

The sheriff's office said earlier this year its Central Broward/Lauderdale Lakes Crime Suppression Team received information that a fraud ring was operating at a residence near the 4000 block of Northwest 30th Terrace.

Investigators staked out the home for months before getting a warrant to search it.

On September 2nd, detectives and a SWAT executed the warrant and found the seized items along with two assault rifles and two handguns.
