Detectives assigned to the Sacramento Valley Hi-Tech Crimes Task Force are asking the public's help in identifying three identity theft suspects who have passed fictitious checks on the same bank account.
The three suspects have passed checks at two Antelope-area stores: Walmart, 5821 Antelope Road; and Bel Air Market, 7901 Walerga Road, according to Sacramento sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Tim Curran.
The suspects passed checks multiple times at each location between June 20 and June 30, 2010. The losses exceed $2,000, Curran said.
The suspects are described as (see photos below):
-A white female, 18- to 24-years-old, 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 110 to 115 pounds, with blonde hair.
-A white female, 18- to 24-years-old, 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 120 to 125 pounds with brunette hair.
-A white or Hispanic male, 22- to 26-years-old, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, 145 to 160 pounds, with black hair and a goatee.
Anyone with information regarding the identities, or whereabouts, of these suspects is asked to call detective Jim Clausen at (916) 874-3014, or Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP; or send a text message tip by texting to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter SACTIP followed by the tip information.
Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
The Sacramento Valley Hi-Tech Crimes Task Force is a multi-jurisdictional task force that conducts investigations involving high technology, computer, and internet based crimes, Curran said.
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department serves as the lead agency for the task force which is comprised of over 50 local, state and federal law enforcement and prosecuting agencies.
