A 20-year-old man from Hong Kong, who is currently residing in California on a student visa, has been arrested after he attempted to steal thousands of dollars from a Lorain County man earlier this week.
The individual the man called allegedly posed as an employee of the IRS and instructed the man to gather $26,000 from his accounts and place it in a box to prepare it for pick up by a United States Deputy Marshall the next day to protect it from fraud. Officers with the Lorain County Sheriff's Office arrived at the victim's home prior to the time the suspect specified he would arrive to pick up the money. Officers created a perimeter in neighboring driveways, and an officer also waited inside the home.
