A Chilean national, Mario Bustamante Leiva, 50, has admitted to stealing a Gucci purse belonging to US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at a Washington, D.C. restaurant. The stolen bag contained Noem’s ID, passport, badge, and $3,000 in cash. Leiva, who has prior convictions for theft in both Chile and the United Kingdom, also confessed to stealing from two other women in April—one from Spain and another from Massachusetts. According to his plea agreement, Leiva pleaded guilty to three counts of wire fraud and one count of first-degree theft. He has been in custody since his arrest in April and is scheduled for sentencing in March. Upon completion of his sentence, he will be subject to deportation from the United States. Authorities said Leiva used Noem’s stolen credit card at a Georgetown restaurant before being apprehended. His criminal record includes multiple theft convictions dating back to 1995.
