Cops Seek Real Estate Agent Accused Of Swiping Cash From Company Trust Account

In Rancho Cucamonga, California, the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin reports:

  • District attorney's fraud investigators are hoping that a woman wanted on suspicion of real estate fraud will turn herself in. Authorities served a search warrant at the Rancho Cucamonga home of Jodi Lee Nazir, 40, [...] said Vance Welch, prosecutor with the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Real Estate Fraud Unit. Three people, including Nazir's son, were in the house at the time, Welch said.

  • The case against Nazir has been building since 2007 when she was first arrested, Welch said. The District Attorney's Office has filed six counts of grand theft and embezzlement against Nazir.

  • One count of the criminal complaint alleges that Nazir fraudulently obtained cash from a trust account for her personal use. She was able to obtain the cash using her position as a real estate agent with the Inland Empire Real Estate Solutions Trust Co. The criminal complaint also alleges grand theft in which Nazir "took, damaged and destroyed property exceeding $200,000."
