Calexico police detain identity thief suspect

CALEXICO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The Calexico Police Department detained a woman wanted by the US Marshals.

31-year-old Yasmin Campos was detained Monday evening after police officers attempted to stop her after it appeared she had been involved in a crash.

Calexico police began to pursue Campos after she failed to stop.

That's when her vehicle flipped over, pinning Campos to her vehicle.

“We determined that she had a warrant for her arrest through the US Marshal. Subsequently, while processing the vehicle collision, officers found a lot of documentation including birth certificate… Social security cards… Drivers license… Passports all copies of other people's information which makes us believe she was running an identity thief operation," said Chief Armando Orozco.

Campos is still at El Centro Regional Medical Center.

Once she's released, she'll be charged with identity theft, giving a false name, and failing to stop for officers.
