Westfield Man, Mohamed Yahiya, Charged in SNAP, EBT Fraud Scheme at Adhams Smoke Shop in Chicopee
Mohamed Yahiya, a 47-year-old Westfield man, faces multiple charges for running a SNAP and EBT fraud scheme at Adhams Smoke Shop in Chicopee. He allegedly encouraged people to buy large quantities of Red Bull using their food benefits, then bought it back from them at a discount. An undercover investigator made over $1,700 in this scheme, and Yahiya offered a $50 referral bonus. The shop also sold unstamped cigarettes and flavored tobacco using EBT cards, and authorities found marijuana behind the counter. Yahiya was arrested and charged with food stamp trafficking, selling aid money for tobacco, unstamped cigs, flavored tobacco sales, and intent to distribute marijuana. The case is ongoing as authorities investigate further.
