The illegal migrant who was arrested for snatching Kristi Noem’s Gucci handbag while she was at dinner has been unmasked as a Chilean career criminal.
Secretary of Homeland Security Noem, 53, was dining with her family at The Capital Burger in downtown DC, when a man in a medical mask was able to sneak off with her Gucci bag last Sunday.
It contained roughly $3,000 in cash, her makeup bag, driver’s license, passport, medication, apartment keys, DHS access badge and some blank checks.
Mario Bustamante-Leiva, 49, was arrested for the brazen theft, according to the NY Post. He has been living illegally in the US for years – and is believed to be a part of a wider robbery organization terrorizing the East Coast.
