MAN, 82, ARRESTED AFTER PRINTING COUNTERFEIT LOYALTY PUNCH CARDS FOR 14 LOCAL BUSINESSES
MAN, 82, ARRESTED AFTER PRINTING COUNTERFEIT LOYALTY PUNCH CARDS FOR 14 LOCAL BUSINESSES MILLTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA — Harold Keen, 82, was arrested Wednesday after investigators traced a three-year counterfeit operation back to his home office, where he had been mass-producing fake loyalty punch cards for fourteen local coffee shops, bakeries, and delis. Detectives say the scheme unraveled after a Milltown Coffee employee noticed a punch card with a hole pattern slightly off-center from the store's actual hole punch. Harold Keen, 82, allegedly replicated punch cards for 14 businesses using a home printer and a hole punch He matched the card stock weight and hole pattern so precisely that no cashier noticed Investigators estimate he collected over 200 free items across three years His notebook of "targets" tracked each business by name with a running tally of cards completed Keen reportedly rotated which shop he hit each week so no single location saw repeat visits Business owners said they were stunned to learn their loyalty programs had been quietly infiltrated for years by a soft-spoken retiree who tipped well and always said thank you. One café manager said "he was genuinely one of our favorite regulars — turns out he never actually paid for a tenth coffee." "I've handled counterfeit bills, counterfeit checks, even counterfeit parking passes," said Detective Owen Marsh. "Never a full print shop dedicated to free bagels and coffee." The spiral notebook, full of checkmarks beside every business name, reportedly declined to comment. He punched his way to two hundred free items — now the county's punching back.
