Investigators arrested two individuals, Hannah Noto, 25 years of age, from North Hills, and Jude Bigay, 26 years of age, from Sunland.

The two suspects admitted to their involvement to defraud multiple clothing companies through an e-commerce scheme, then selling the stolen property on a popular live-streaming shopping platform, called Whatnot.

The value of the recovery is estimated at $1,000,000.

Both Noto and Bigay were transported to and booked at Van Nuys Jail for 496(A) PC – Receiving Stolen Property, booking numbers 7211389 and 7211653.
