Do you recognize the woman in these surveillance photos? She is suspected of identity theft in Encinitas and across Southern California. Someone out there knows this suspect.
On February 26, 2018, a resident of Encinitas called the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station to report someone had stolen her identity and tried to withdraw money from her bank account. The suspect also applied for and received credit cards in the victim’s name and made numerous charges on those fraudulent accounts.
Sheriff's Detectives later determined the same suspect has stolen the personal identities of several individuals throughout San Diego and Riverside Counties. The suspect uses fraudulently manufactured identification cards and assumes the victims’ identities to make transactions at retail stores and financial institutions.
The suspect is described as a White or Hispanic woman between 22 and 30-years-old with long red hair and possibly green eyes. The suspect usually wears the same medical scrubs when using the victims’ information.
