 San
Antonio, TX: ORC Suspect busted, possibly $20,000 stolen over last 4 years
San Antonio Police today arrested a New Orleans woman in connection with the
theft of hundreds of items from local stores. "We're estimated, probably over
$20,000 worth of property over the last four years," Police Officer Douglas
Greene said. The suspect, Daphne Moore, didn't go quietly in her 'perp walk.'
She spat invective at reporters and news cameras who had gathered at the police
station, at one point bending over and showing the media her butt. Greene says
Moore would take the bus from New Orleans, steal from stores in San Antonio like
Academy and Old Navy, and then take the bus home with the stolen merchandise to
sell in the Crescent City. "She has a robbery warrant issued for her arrest and
possibly two felony theft warrants, and it is possible she could face more
charges," Greene said.

 Bergen
Co, NJ: 9 arrested in NJ and PA, 11 at large in North Jersey crackdown on fraud,
ID theft
Nine suspects were arrested and 11 more were identified but remained at large in
a crackdown on an alleged identity theft and fraud ring that targeted small
businesses in North Jersey, authorities said Wednesday. Two of the arrested
suspects were being held Wednesday in the Bergen County Jail on bail, and seven
more were being held in Pennsylvania to await extradition proceedings, said
Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli. The arrests on Monday were the
result of an ongoing investigation that heated up after the arrest last February
of Miokar Wehye, 42, of Hillside, a citizen of the West African nation of
Liberia, Molinelli said. Wehye's arrest followed an 11-month investigation into
identity theft and fraud reported by owners of small businesses in Bergen
County, the prosecutor said. Investigators from Molinelli's office were assisted
in that arrest by the Fairview Police Department, the Bergen County Sheriff's
Office, the Union County Prosecutor's Office, the Hillside Police Department and
the FBI. The initial investigation revealed that Wehye orchestrated an elaborate
fraud scheme to steal more than $100,000.00 from victims' bank accounts by
changing the victims' mailing addresses, opening bank accounts in victims'
names, using counterfeit checks to make illegal withdrawals from victims' bank
accounts and applying for fraudulent business loans in victims' names, Molinelli
said.
