Hawaii Island Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating two women involved in an identity theft and fraud case. The investigation stems from the theft of a purse that had some personal checks belonging to the victim.

In October 2019 the suspects took a personal check and fraudulently cashed the check, depositing funds into their account.

Police are looking for Carmen Walker-Torres, a 25-year-old female from Keaau, and Amy Smith, a 37-year-old female from Hilo, in the suspected fraud case.

Anyone with information on these women is asked to call Officer Mike Santos of South Hilo Patrol at 961-2213, or the police non-emergency number 935-3311. Those wishing to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at 961-8300.
