Woman Accused of High-Fashion Fraud

Police in Westchester say they have finally caught up to a scammer who allegedly trolled for unattended wallets and credit cards at colleges, health clubs and hospitals, then went on shopping sprees for Prada bags and Manolo Blahnik shoes. Cops busted Alexandra Pierre, of Dobbs Ferry, at New York Medical College in Valhalla.

She was wearing a stolen lab coat and a fake ID at the time of her arrest. Police say they found $47,000 in merchandise at her home, including clothes, handbags and shoes from Prada, Manolo Blahnik, Louis Vuitton, Dior and Yves St. Laurent. Cops say they've been trying to track down the thief for a year.
