Suspect 1

Suspect 2

LBPD says in a release that it has identified two suspects already in custody in connection with a fraud ring that allegedly targeted the Sam's Club in ELB's Towne Center (Carson St. near 605 freeway) and are asking for the public's help in identifying the three additional suspects above. LBPD's release says the two suspects already in custody are Ayesha Wilson, 43, of Long Beach and Nanette Macon, 34, of Adelanto, whom the L.A. County District Attorney has charged with 21 and 18 counts, respectively, of identity theft.

[LBPD release text] Suspect Wilson was arrested on February 24, 2013, by the Beverly Hills Police Department on unrelated charges, and Suspect Macon was arrested on April 22, 2013, by the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department, also on unrelated charges...

With the assistance of Walmart Global Investigations, the investigative unit of Walmart which is the parent company of Sam's Club, it was determined that three additional suspects were a part of the same fraud ring, and were responsible for at least 10 additional cases of identity theft. These suspects would also establish credit accounts using personal identifying information from various victims, mostly located out of state. They would then engage in fraudulent transactions with Sam's Club, purchasing various items including gift cards and electronics, such as tablets and computers. Detectives have not been able to identify the three outstanding suspects by name, but they believe they are located in the Los Angeles County area and are hoping someone may recognize them in photos taken at Sam's Club at the time they established accounts.

Anyone who may information on the identities of these suspects is asked to call Long Beach Police Identity Theft Detective Andre Sanchez at (562) 570-7602.
