RENTON, Wash. — Renton Police detectives say a couple wanted in connection with an identity theft investigation has been arrested in New York.
Detectives said the couple may have information about an 85-year-old man who was pickpocketed at the Renton Benson Fred Meyer. His debit card was stolen and used to withdraw $2,700 later that day.
Police said several other Puget Sound-area cities reported similar crimes involving the same suspects.
The man and woman were arrested Monday in a city north of Manhattan, NY, where they are suspected of stealing a senior citizen’s debit card.
