Police said a search warrant at the suspect’s residence recovered “stolen mail, driver licenses, identification cards, an embosser, fraudulent documents, and drug-related paraphernalia.”

The woman was arrested on suspicion of fraud, identity theft and drug-related charges and booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail.

Police added, “This case is a great reminder that even small pieces of evidence can make a big difference. If you believe you’ve been the victim of mail or package theft, please report it. Security camera footage, photos, or witness information can provide valuable leads that help us identify suspects and recover stolen property.”
