An arrest was carried out in the survey on the Theft of a high -end gucci bag Belonging to the DHS secretary, Kristi Noem, a source of application of the familiar law with the investigation told CNN.
One person is in detention and several additional arrests are expected in a flight ring that recently targets Washington, DC, Penn Quarter Area, said the source.
The authorities have not yet published specific details on the identity of man, but the arrest intervened after the American secret services launched an investigation to find the attacker who stole his bag As she dined With his family on Easter Sunday.
“For the security of our agents and officers, we are unable to confirm or comment for the moment. If criminal charges were filed, the Ministry of Internal Security will provide public information in accordance with established procedures,” said the spokesman for the secret service Anthony Guglielmi.
As CNN previously reported, surveillance images of the Capital Burger restaurant in Washington, DC, have shown that the suspect was deliberately moving near Noem while he was focusing on his Gucci bag near his feet, said a second source of application of the law.
The thief, dressed in dark clothes, sat at an empty table next to Noem, his back facing her and used his left foot to slide the bag, said the source. He questioned the restaurant before finally taking the bag, covering it with his jacket and therefore.
It was only when Noem got up from the table that she had realized that her bag was missing, said the source.
The inside of the bag articles included a Clemence Louis Vuitton portfolio, Noem's driving license, drugs, apartments, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, virgin checks and about $ 3,000 in cash, several sources said.
CNN contacted the parent company of Capital Burger, Darden Restaurants, which did not respond to a request for comments.
It is still not known if the thief knew the identity of Noem or if it was a random target.
The secret services were inside the restaurant with Noem, who dined at a table with his family, according to a familiar source. The source did not specify how many agents accompanied Noem or where they were inside the restaurant.
Commenting on the big sum of cash Noem wore immediately after the incident, a spokesperson for the DHS said: “His whole family was in town, including her children and grandchildren-she used the withdrawal to offer her family dinner, Easter activities and gifts.”
The experts in the application of laws have raised concerns as to whether the incident, which involved a thief approaching so close to a firm manager, then on the run with his property, may have been a security period.
