The Brown County Police Department has discovered rampant welfare abuse at a Green Bay liquor store. WGBA reports:
New information was released Thursday on what's being called the largest case of welfare fraud in state history. It centers around Beach Road Liquor, a store on the northeast side of Green Bay, accused of misusing QUEST food share cards.
The investigation into the store first began in April. The owners of the store, Gurnek and Gurdeep Basanti, are at the center of the case. They're accused of misusing the cards, allowing hundreds of people to buy alcohol and tobacco and obtain cash using welfare money.
