COSTA MESA — A Costa Mesa woman faces nearly 40 years in prison for her alleged role in an identity theft and bank fraud ring linked to an Orange car dealership, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Luz Belem Corral, 28, is charged with 77 felonies, including 43 counts of forgery and 31 counts of grand theft as a desk manager at Douglas Nissan.
She, along with three men, are accused of using their jobs at the used car dealership to target Latino customers who did not have proper identification or didn't understand the complexities of buying a car to get them inflated loans they couldn't afford to pay.
