Deputies to Address Identity Theft in Rolling Hills

The Lomita Sheriff's Station will hold a public meeting Thursday night to address a recent identity theft case that, according to deputies, may have compromised multiple addresses in Rolling Hills.

According to Lt. Vicki Stuckey with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, an initial case of identity theft was reported to the Lomita station on Sunday. Upon further investigation, Stuckey said that deputies determined multiple addresses may have been stolen in the area. 

"It is unknown at this time how many (addresses were compromised)," said Stuckey, adding that it was definitely more than one.

Stuckey said that Thursday's meeting will address the ongoing investigation and offer tips for those who have had their identity stolen.

"We are basically going to have an information meeting and inform the citizens about identity theft and that is what our investigation is going to be about," she said.

The sheriff's department did not offer any further information on the case as of Wednesday evening.

Thursday's meeting will take place at 7 p.m. at , located at 38 Crest Road W. All Rolling Hills residents are encouraged to attend.
