A Costa Mesa man was behind bars Friday, suspected of identity theft in Thousand Oaks.
Kyle Zimmerman, 27, was taken into custody about 8:30 a.m. at the Ana Mesa Inn, 3597 Harbor Blvd., according to Ventura County sheriff’s Sgt. Alan Hartkop.
He remained in custody in lieu of $50,000, pending arraignment.
The arrest came following an investigation by the Thousand Oaks Fraud & Forgery Unit into a complaint by a resident who said someone tried to use personal information in an attempt to open several credit card accounts; money was also taken from the victim’s checking account, Hartkop wrote in a news release.

Investigators developed information on a suspect and served a search warrant at his home, where evidence linking him to the crime and possibly other identity theft cases was allegedly found, Hartkop said.
Detectives are trying to determine whether there are other victims, the sergeant said.
