Twenty-seven of the counts are felonies, the district attorney's office said Wednesday.
According to authorities, the information stolen they were able to make more than $88,000 in purchases and loans between September 2007 and January 2008. According to police, that included four plastic surgeries: a penis enlargement for him and another man, 30-year-old Manuel Delarosa of Philadelphia; and breast enhancement surgeries for two women, 26-year-old Maria Lopez and 33-year-old Bedenissi Feliciano, both of Philadelphia.
