| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent News Release – November 10, 2010 Troopers Make Three Arrests for Felony Theft LAKE CHARLES – Last week, detectives with the Lake Charles office of the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigation received information that UPS was delivering packages to vacant homes in the Lake Charles area that contained computer equipment. The items purchased were charged to numerous victims whose identities were compromised from a technique called phishing. Victims were sent fraudulent emails directing unwitting computer users to phony internet sites to obtain sensitive personal data without their knowledge. Troopers conducted surveillance operations which provided valuable information. Last night, troopers arrested 25-year-old Tuan Anh Nguyen of 4325 Harvard Street in Lake Charles, 20-year-old Giang Vang Nguyen of 575 Beauregard in Lake Charles, and 22-year-old Tri Van Le of 425 East McNeese Street in Lake Charles. All three were arrested for felony theft (LRS 14:67) as well as conspiracy to commit felony theft (LRS 14:26/67) and were booked into the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center. The investigation is continuing. Immigration and Customs Homeland Security special agents assisted in the apprehension of the subjects and are assisting troopers with the investigation. Assistance was also provided by the Lake Charles City Police Department, Sears Roebuck loss prevention personnel, and Sears Roebuck credit card security representatives. Contact Information: | |||
