Update #1, 03/21/2017: Shortly after this case was shared with local media, a tipster called Crime Stoppers naming the suspect in the photos.  After positively identifying the woman, the lead detective took out 4 warrants for Alcie Almecoh Green (age 43, Atlanta).  (ALCIE is the correct spelling.)  The warrants are for:

• Theft by Deception x 2
• Identity Fraud x 2

Alcie’s whereabouts are currently unknown, but it’s possible she is still in the Atlanta area. 

The lead detective “would like to thank the public for the help which ultimately aided in identifying the suspect.”  He believes that Alcie sold some of the stolen merchandise (high end watches, purses, etc.) to people in Metro Atlanta.  We encourage these people to contact GCPD at 770 513-5300 as soon as possible.  These unknowing buyers are in possession stolen merchandise that ultimately needs to be returned to the stores.   Below is a picture of a stolen Movado watch.

Original, 03/16/2017: (Buford, Georgia)  The Gwinnett County Police Department Electronic and Financial Crimes Unit needs the public’s help in identifying a woman accused of multiple identity theft transactions at/near the Mall of Georgia, in Duluth, and online.  The woman in the photos is wanted for opening up multiple lines of credit at Belk, Von Maur, TJMaxx, and Target in Buford.  Transactions were also made at a Kohl’s on West Liddell Road and the Comcast website using the name of a woman from Atlanta. 

The victim was alerted to these illegal transactions when a collections company began calling her due to non-payment.  This scam is estimated to be over $9,000.

Though identity theft is a rapidly growing crime, all people should monitor their financial transactions and their credit on a regular basis.  If you suspect you have unlawful transactions on your credit/debit cards or think someone has opened up a line of credit in your name, immediately contact your bank or the issuer of your credit card.  Obtain a copy of your credit through TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian.  And if necessary, place a Fraud Alert on your credit.
