TAUNTON - There is extreme couponing and then there's this. An alleged counterfeit coupon ring raking in nearly $27,000 in goods has resulted in charges for two women from Taunton.

The Plymouth County District Attorney's office said 41-year-old Jacqueline White and 40-year-old Crystal Travis, ran a months-long ring of buying and making fake coupons that worked in Stop & Shop stores.

The indictment alleges from March to June of 2023, White and Travis entered more than a dozen grocery stores and used fraudulent coupons to purchase household items such as hand soap, laundry detergent, toothbrushes, and more. The Plymouth District Attorney's office said the pair would then use the goods they purchased and sell them online for profit. They often sold the goods on social media sites like Facebook, per the indictment.
