Woman arrested after stealing another’s identity to purchase a vehicle in Victorville

VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — Authorities arrested a 52-year-old woman after stealing another woman’s identity to purchase a vehicle in Victorville.
On January 11, 2022, deputies from the Victorville Police Department responded to a call for service referencing identity theft in the 15000 block of Dos Palmas Road.
Sheriff’s officials said the victim reported someone used her information to purchase a vehicle at a car dealership in Victorville.
“Through investigative means, detectives determined the suspect used the victim’s personal information to obtain an auto loan online which was later used to purchase a vehicle at the Victorville car dealership,” stated the release.

Detectives took custody of Holmes and transported her to High Desert Detention Center where she was booked on three felony charges: forgery, grand theft, and obtaining credit using others’ identification.
