More Info: Grocery shoppers may want to stay away from using plastic this holiday season. Incidents of credit and debit card fraud have increased dramatically throughout the Northwest and investigators have potentially identified a wholesale grocery chain with roots in Spokane as the source. "This is a huge spike in this type of case," Kootenai County Sheriff's Lt. Stu Miller said Monday. "It's affecting residents all over the Northwest." The one common thread in these fraud cases is URM - a wholesale grocery chain that services more than 160 stores in the Northwest, including Super 1 Foods, Trading Co., and Rosauers.
