Wheaton police arrest Schaumburg woman facing identity theft charges

Wheaton police have arrested a Schaumburg woman for taking part in a financial crimes enterprise, authorities said Monday.

Karolina M. Klambatseas, 34, of the 40 block of Wisteria Lane, was indicted on 59 felony offenses earlier this month that included theft, identity theft and financial institution fraud, police said. She also was charged with 31 misdemeanors.

Wheaton police said they have been investigating reported identity thefts connected to Klambatseas since May 2015. They discovered Klambatseas had dozens of stolen identities that she obtained while working as a loan processor for mortgage companies. The identities, police said, were used to obtain bank accounts, credit cards and loans in the victims' names.
