Two men have been arrested for a fake return scheme in Nassau County.

Ranaldo Davis, 19, of Queens, and Marquis Johnson, 31, of Westbury, were both employees of BJ’s Wholesale Club when they made thousands of dollars in fraudulent returns, Nassau police say.

Detectives tell News 12 the pair ran the scam together between January and April at the store’s Valley Stream location on Green Acres Road South.

The multiple fake returns totaled approximately $175,000, according to the department’s Electronics Squad Fraud and Forgery Unit.

Davis and Johnson will both be charged with grand larceny and falsifying business records when they face a judge on Wednesday.
