Shonya Michelle Young, 28, is the girlfriend of the number three leader in “Cannon to the Wiz,” a nationwide pick pocketing organization, according to a spokesman for the marshals.

Young was arrested near Miami International Airport and had several wigs in her possession as well as fraudulent New York identity and check cards when she was arrested. She is the ninth member of Cannon to the Wiz to be arrested. Law enforcement agencies are still searching for six more suspects.

The ring operates by stealing wallets or purses and using the personal identification, check cards, checks and credit cards to steal identities and drain their victims’ bank accounts. Authorities say they stole more than $2 million in the past year.

Anna Bernanke was victimized last August when her purse was stolen from the back of her chair while she was in a Washington D.C. area Starbucks. The thieves then used her driver’s license, Social Security card and checkbook to withdraw money from the joint account she shared with her husband.

There is still an outstanding arrest warrant for George Lee Ried who, according to a federal affidavit, deposited money from the Bernankes’ bank account into another victim’s hijacked account, and then withdrew $9,000 from the second account.

Authorities to Young to a federal detention center in downtown Miami yesterday, but she will be taken to Virginia where the case is being prosecuted.
