Nevada City and Grass Valley Police have wrapped up an identity theft investigation where an employee was suspected of compromising as many as 160 customers of a Nevada City Business.
Yesterday morning Nevada City and Grass Valley Police officers executed a search warrant at the home of 28 year old Jennifer Yeoman on the 200 block of Vistamont Drive in Grass Valley. The investigation was initiated after a Nevada City business reported they had fired Yeoman after finding out she was currently going through the judicial process for credit card theft and identity theft.
