 Bellevue,
WA: Hermes target of city-hopping ID thieves - one arrested
Two women are suspected of stealing a $9,000 handbag from Hermes in Bellevue as
part of a highly organized theft ring whose members fly in and out of cities all
over the country, ripping off high-end retail stores. The suspected thieves
allegedly use stolen credit cards to buy the luxury goods. One suspect, 55-year
old Lihua Li, was arrested on Tuesday. Li and the other woman allegedly used
multiple fraudulent credit cards at Hermes on Sunday. One of those stolen credit
card numbers belonged to Angie Dozer of Londonderry, Ohio, who directly
contacted Bellevue Police. When one of the suspects returned to the Hermes the
next day, a store manager called Police who made the arrest. "That's the best
thing about it," Police said. If Dozer "hadn't called, we wouldn't have known
about it, and the suspect would have been gone." Investigators believe the other
woman has flown out of the area, which is why they're now asking for help from
the FBI.
