On May 27, 2022, the Economic Crimes Unit initiated an investigation into an Obtaining Money by False Pretenses complaint filed by an elderly victim.
The investigation uncovered that Andrea Hull-King unlawfully registered her relative’s Banco Popular de Puerto Rico account for online access.
Her relative’s name had previously been added to the complainants’ account as a Co-Depositor, which granted Hull King full access to both accounts.
She subsequently transferred $26,730.00 between October 2021 to January 2022 to her personal account also held at Banco Popular de Puerto Rico through online banking.
As a result of the investigation an arrest warrant was obtained for Andrea Hull in reference to this matter and was entered into the National Crime Information Center database. That on August 14, 2025, Andrea Hull-King was apprehended during a traffic violation in the state of Massachusetts and placed in custody due to the outstanding warrant.
