The Fairfield Police Department reported on social media that Officer Morgan had recently initiated an investigation into a scam in which several thousand dollars were exfiltrated from a senior's bank account.
The case, which broadened from a simple case of identity theft to the fraudulent purchase of an SUV, saw 30-year-old Luisa Soane of Hayward at its center. Officer Morgan was able to track down and positively identify Soane, who had been masquerading as a Fairfield officer to perpetuate her scheme. Soane, on probation for forgery stemming from a previous incident in San Diego, has now found herself facing an array of charges that threaten to add to that legal history.
Yesterday, what started as an investigation culminated in action, and the Fairfield Police swiftly moved to apprehend Soane, thereby seizing her opportunity to exploit the victim further. Citing the social media post of the Fairfield Police Department, this arrest not only symbolizes a brief respite for the victim but serves as a warning to others who might seek to prey upon the vulnerable sections of our society.
