Another Carpentersville resident has gotten a notice from the IRS, demanding back taxes on income. — The IRS says the resident owes taxes on $60,000. — Only this victim is 7. Yes, a second-grader. — He’s the latest Carpentersville resident, police said Friday, to fall victim to identity theft…

Centeno said he has used the Social Security card with the victim’s information to obtain a truck, three separate jobs, gas and electrical service for his home, a credit card, unemployment benefits twice for a total of six months, and over $60,000 in pay and services, police said.

Centeno said he bought the card for $50 from a friend and used it because he is in the country illegally, police said.
