Woman Posed as Construction Worker to Burglarize Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeons' Offices
The suspect allegedly used stolen credit cards for a shopping spree, prompting plastic surgeons to offer a reward for her capture.
Beverly Hills police are seeking a woman accused of impersonating a construction worker to commit burglaries at the offices of celebrity plastic surgeons. The suspect allegedly stole credit cards from the offices and subsequently used them for a shopping spree. In response, the targeted surgeons are offering a reward for information leading to her arrest.
The incidents occurred on July 30 in a building located on the 120 block of South Spalding Drive, which houses several prominent cosmetic surgery practices. Among the affected offices were those of Dr. Garth Fisher, known for his television appearances, and Dr. Paul Nassif, a star of the reality series "Botched."
According to reports, the woman approached an employee at Dr. Fisher's office, claiming to be a construction worker needing to check the water pressure. The employee, unaware of the ruse, allowed the woman access to various parts of the building, including the restroom near Dr. Fisher's office. Surveillance footage captured images of the woman as she was escorted through the premises.
Later, the woman reportedly returned to the building, falsely claiming she had forgotten her phone. She was allowed back inside, and it is believed she then entered the offices and took wallets. Shortly after, Dr. Fisher and his wife began receiving notifications of thousands of dollars in unauthorized charges on their credit cards and Apple Pay accounts.
Surveillance footage from inside the offices reportedly showed the woman taking wallets. Staff discovered that two other offices in the building, including Dr. Nassif's, were also targeted. In each instance, the suspect allegedly used the guise of a construction worker to gain entry.
Video evidence also reportedly shows the suspect using the stolen credit cards at an Apple Store. The plastic surgeons involved are collectively offering a $2,500 reward for information that leads to the woman's apprehension. The Beverly Hills Police Department has been contacted for further comment.
