King County, WA: Bail set at $1.5 million for 'The Profile Lady'; Seattle Police seek name of suspect in ID theft ring case "
Crooks call her 'The Profile Lady' and tonight Anh Nguyen is being held on $1.5 million dollars bail. King County prosecutors say Nguyen got the nickname for providing victim's personal information or profiles to a ring of thieves who then opened credit card accounts. "Most of the cases that we come across is because of mail theft, residential burglaries and car prowling so I always tell people don't leave anything in your car," said King County Senior Deputy Prosecutor Mafe Rajul. Nguyen and her mom, Kim Le, are accused of running a massive ID theft ring that stole $395,000 from victims. Nguyen was out on bail when detectives say she was spotted at Sam's Club in Renton last week with a co-defendant opening an account on a victim's name and charging $4,000 worth of jewelry. "ID theft is a serious problem and you cannot continue to victimize people and that's why I asked for a bail increase because Ms. Nguyen had been out on $500,000 bail and that did not stop her from continuing to commit more crimes," said Rajul. q13fox.com
