Bank records offered no leads as to the suspect’s identity. The victim suffered no monetary loss and the unauthorized account was closed before it could be used for other fraudulent activities. The Criminal Investigation Division investigated a retail theft that occurred at a retailer at the Bal Harbour Shops. The suspect took a purse valued at over $1000.00. Detectives used video footage to obtain the suspects image and distributed a need-to-identify flyer to patrol officers and neighboring jurisdictions.

The theft is alleged to have been committed by the victim’s former caretaker / live in nurse. The reported theft and unauthorized use of her credit card occurred during this past year.
