[b]Man arrested for multi-county theft targeted Bainbridge[/b]
[i]
A Port Townsend man was arrested this week on charges ranging from stealing mail to identity theft, and police said he may be responsible for some of the recent mail thefts on Bainbridge Island.

Adam Justin Lysiak, 38, is being held on $250,000 bail after he was arrested Tuesday in Port Townsend. More than 1,000 pounds of mail was discovered in his possession.

The bust came after police received a tip that he was living in the area and running an extensive identity theft operation. Port Townsend police were joined by six other agencies when they arrested Lysiak at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Lysiak jumped off the rear balcony of his second-floor apartment before being taken in.

While based in Port Townsend, Lysiak allegedly traveled throughout Kitsap and Jefferson counties under the cover of night and opened mailboxes. He is accused of using information obtained from stolen mail to create fake identities in order to pass fraudulent checks and get credit cards.

Victims will be contacted through the mail if their information has been discovered in Lysiak’s loot, police said.

“We are still pulling mail out of bags, it’s too much mail to go through quickly,” Bogues said. “It’s going to be a long effort.”[/i]
