A nearly nine-month investigation by Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s detectives has led to the arrest of a suspected identity thief. Imoukhuede Ohiwerei Ehimika, 26, of Nigeria was arrested Dec. 21 at his home in the 200 block of Mathilda Drive in Goleta, the Sheriff’s Department announced Thursday. He was released Tuesday, Dec. 28, after posting $150,000 bail. Detectives began their investigation in April after a Santa Barbara area man reported someone had used the Internet to transfer more than $5,000 from his bank account into a fraudulent bank account.
