Martin said it is not believed the suspect targeted Noem because she was the DHS secretary, “There is no indication it was because of that. It was frankly, it was a nice looking purse.”
Martin said Immigration and Customs Enforcement is now involved, “President Trump's direction to us is we charge these folks that are here illegally and we prosecute them as well as deport them when need be, you know, as soon as that can happen.”
Martin added, “What I can tell you is he won't be back on the streets in America.”
Martin said the alleged thief knew what he was doing, “This was not an amateur. This was a person, a thief that knew how to do this. You could see how he scouted the room out.”
, which contained $3,000 in cash, Easter Sunday at Capital Burger, which is two blocks from the Westin, a DHS spokesperson and sources familiar with the matter said.
The suspect was a white male wearing dark clothing, a dark-colored baseball hat and a white N95 mask, according to two sources familiar with the surveillance footage.
That person entered Capital Burger at 7:55 p.m., sat near Noem’s table, scooted closer and used his foot to slide her purse toward him, according to surveillance footage viewed by law enforcement, sources said. Within minutes, the man picked up Noem’s purse, placed it under his jacket, walked out of the restaurant and down the street, they said.
Three days before Noem's handbag was stolen, another woman eating with her own family at a nearby eatery had her purse taken in a similar manner, records show.
온라인카지노사이트 News discovered the similarities in the two incidents after requesting reports of thefts in the neighborhood from the DC Metropolitan Police Department.
It’s not clear if the two incidents are connected, but the victim in the first purse snatching believes they are.
“I’m shocked at the similarity of the crime,” she told 온라인카지노사이트 News when she described how her purse was stolen Thursday at a restaurant in the downtown Westin Hotel.
In the earlier theft, the victim, who asked that 온라인카지노사이트 News not name her publicly, arrived late in Washington with her husband and son so they went to dinner at a restaurant inside the Westin Hotel.
She said it wasn’t until they got the check around 9:20 p.m. that she realized her purse was gone.
A police report states that the suspect walked by the woman's table and took her bag “from the chair it was hanging on” in one fell swoop.
The victim said she got a call after the theft to let her know that her health insurance card had been found at a store a three-minute walk from the hotel, which is just steps from the restaurant where Noem’s bag was stolen.
The suspect in the earlier theft was also a white male, wearing dark clothing, a dark-colored baseball cap and an N-95 mask, according to the victim, who said she viewed the security footage of the man stealing her purse.
She said that after hearing about Noem's theft, she almost called police because the secretary's experience sounded so similar to her own.
A Metropolitan Police Department detective contacted the woman and mentioned the Noem case and asked her if she was also involved in politics. The woman said she is not.
“My husband said this guy must be awful to target women who are out of to dinner with their families," the woman said.
She said the theft was “super stressful, and it’s just violating.”
The Secret Service is investigating the Noem case.
It’s unclear whether Noem was specifically targeted because of her position as a member of President Donald Trump's Cabinet.
Noem has U.S. Secret Service protection. At least two on-duty plainclothes members were at the restaurant’s bar, in between where Noem was seated and the front doors, according to a source who witnessed the meal. That source said that the restaurant wasn’t very busy at the time Noem's purse was taken.
