This is 27-year-old Alina Erin Cibia. On May 7th, 2025, Boca Raton police responded to a local pawn shop in reference to a fraudulent purchase in progress. Officers learned a woman was attempting to purchase a Rolex for $12,000, and the pawn shop staff became suspicious of her fake identification.

Speaker A

When I scanned the ID, it came out with a different name and others in my system. So, I figured she was trying to scam us. Mhm. I think she's working with somebody texting to some, maybe she had like a boss on top.

Speaker A

Address and name was different when I scanned it. Barcode on the back. Okay. All right. Let me go take a look at it.

Speaker A

Yep. So, for example, what is in our system? Kimberly Harrison and the ID itself Miranda Emily, which matches the card.

Speaker A

Okay. And completely different address, and the ID looks weird. Okay. Let me take a look at it. Ma'am, can you stay off your phone, please?

Speaker A

What's that? What's the situation? Situation. What? I don't know. I told her she's detained right now. The deal is not anything.
